  • Hi I would like to know how I can use the app without access to my daughters phone because she loves with her mom 5000km from me and she uses an android phone, I do have her email address phone number etc I think shes in an unsafe environment because she tried to call my any nights sounding scared and concerned but never tells me so I want to know if theres another way I can find out whats going on another way to access her phone.

    • Hello.
      Thank you for your question.

      Regrettably, access to the target device is needed in order to install mSpy.

  • So I want to monitor an iPhone and I know the icloud address but I don’t know the password. Do I need the password as well? If so how would I get that besides trying to watch over his shoulder? Any tips, tricks or ideas?

    • Hello.
      Thank you for your question.

      You can do that, you would need to have access to the target Android device.

  • If i have target iphone icloud and password. Do i need her phone physically? if i also get the verification code easily.

    • Hello.
      Thank you for your question.

      If you can get a code without touching the device, you can do that.
      Please, be advised, Apple sends notification about successful login to email after you log in.

  • Hi. What does the verification code look like on the targeted phone? I wont be around the phone that is needed monitoring for a week. I can easily say that our apple ID needs verification or something for the person to give me the code and not think anything of it but didn’t know what it looks like on their phone.

    • Dear Customer,
      Thank you for contacting us.

      The only way to monitor a phone is to install our software directly on that device.
      You can not track the phone over the phone number or IMEI number. It’s technically impossible.

  • Are passwords needed for option 2, the WIFI sync? For instance, Once I connect to my laptop will i need to unlock target phone, etc? And the end result for both options is the same? All monitoring will be the same?

    • Hi Lisa!

      Thank you for your question!

      WiFi Sync offers more features than iCloud sync. For iCloud option, it’s necessary to have the phone unlocked just to check the 2-FA code that will come on the phone. For Wi-Fi Sync, you must have the phone unlocked first, and then you have to enter a lock screen password to authorize connection.

    • Hi Yuo!

      Thank you for reaching out!

      mSpy requires installation on the target device. It takes 5–10 minutes. The software is discreet and not visible on the phone.

  • If i successfully monitor an iphone with the method 1 ( icloud sync), my kid use computer with the same icloud address to send message, and other activities, can i also have the information about this computer?

    • Hi Hung Le,

      Thank you for reaching out!

      mSpy doesn’t offer computer monitoring. You will get access only to information from the phone.

  • If my kid using iphone, macbook with the same icloud address, is the verification code sent to the both when i try to using method 1 ( icloud sync)?

  • Why do I have to keep adding a target device. It keeps disappearing and I have to do it all over again.

    • Hi Chrissy!

      Typically, a phone remains linked even if software was removed from the phone. In this case, we recommend contacting our online chat support. They will be happy to look into it and offer a solution!

    • Hi Tribro!

      Thank you for reaching out!

      Yes, mSpy requires physical access to the target device for 5–10 minutes for installation.

  • I have no access to the target phone nor do I have access to an ICloud address. Will mspy work on a flip phone that doesn’t have internet service.

    • Hi Ann! Thank you for reaching out!

      mSpy requires physical access to the target phone for 5–10 minutes for a setup. The phone must have internet connection – otherwise it won’t be updating.

  • In the dashborad i have this message:

    To grant missing permissions
    Make a “call” to your access code 000000 from the monitored device.

    Which/where is the access code?

    • Hi Flipflop,

      You must be referring to code “1000000” (1 million). This code should be sent from your device to the target device as a regular text message (SMS) in order to re-fresh the connection. This procedure should be done if you do not receive any updates for more than 8 hours.

      We recommend contacting our online chat support. They are available 24/7 and will be happy to assist you with any inquiry!

    • Hi Daina!

      Thank you for reaching out!
