TheOneSpy
The OneSpy lives up to its name. This app is specifically designed for iOS devices. Once installed, it can take over anything that’s on your device. TheOneSpy collects the data, encrypts it, and sends it to a secret web portal where users can view everything. This means that someone could target your personal emails, text messages, and voicemails.
They could even listen on the other end of your phone calls, look through your browsing history, and scroll through your phones. Some cyber attackers use this app to record private phone calls and use your camera and microphone to spy on you.
Highster Mobile
Highster Mobile is another spy app that tracks the other apps you use on your phone. It’s mostly use to track the usage of Facebook, Instagram, Skype, and WhatsApp. This app can be installed to your phone without you knowing about it, and can block any app that you want to use. It also has to ability to restore the messages and data you previously dated.
Highster Mobile can also lock your phone. That means you could lose access to your iPhone altogether. This app can be installed on both Android and Apple devices.
FlexiSpy
FlexiSpy works similarily to Highster Mobile in which it can be used to track your activity. It has some of the same features of the other apps mentioned above, but it can also track your GPS location, private passwords, and other apps. The person who installed the app can also receive notifications so they can spy on you at any given moment. FlexiSpy is often used to spy on both Android and Apple devices.
MSpy
One of the scariest things about the mSpy app is that it can monitor your use of Snapchat. It can also track your GPS location and prevent incoming calls from reaching you. This app is marketed towards parents who are worried about their children being contacted by a predator. While it’s legal to use, this app could be used by a cyber attack who got access to your device.
Mspy provides 24/7 customer support to anyone who uses the app. It also has the option to monitor content on your desktop or laptop computer. That means every device the unauthorized user has access to can be used to spy on you.
Spyera
Spyera is unlike the others on this list because it’s an iPhone spy app. However, the app can be installed to both Android and Apple devices. Whoever has access to your phone can spy on all of your activity. Features included listening to recorded calls, listening in on live phone calls, and using the microphone to monitor all of your personal conversations.
It can even record your personal conversations. Spyera also has the ability to monitor your photos, text messages, and emails. The person who has access can even read all of your conversations from Skype, WeChat, Viber, etc.
Spy apps can do a world of good for parents. But, they can do some bad when left in the wrong hands. There might be an app on your phone that’s being used to monitor your phone calls, voicemails, text messages, photos, and more. It’s a scary thought, but it’ll help you stay aware of your phone activity.
