There are dozens of possible scenarios where you might want to find out what someone is doing on their phone. Maybe you’re just curious what your loved ones are up to when you’re not around. Or they’ve been keeping their eyes glued to their phone or acting overly secretive, which makes you wonder what could go wrong. And there are all the more reasons when it comes to protecting an underage child from visiting the wrong sites, watching inappropriate content, or making the wrong friends…

Regardless of your reason, there are actually quite a bunch of ways you can track someone’s activity on their mobile devices.

1. mSpy
2. uMobix
3. ClevGuard
4. Log into iCloud
5. Get hold of their phone

1. mSpy

Trying to keep track of your kids, partner, or employees’ phone activity? mSpy may just give you the insight you need.

mSpy is an industry-leading phone tracker app that’s packed with features. You can set up the monitoring process either through one-time physical access to the mobile device or remotely without touching it. Once finished, the app will disappear from plain sight, making it invisible and undetectable.

mSpy provides both live and snapshot updates every 5 minutes, which allows you to monitor call logs & text messages, track the phone’s location, monitor social media activities, view browsing histories, block apps & websites, and access even the tiniest bit of detail you need from the monitored device.

1. Go to mSpy Official Website and sign up for free.
   
2. Choose the type of device to be monitored: Android or iOS.
3. In the email you received from mSpy, check out the installation guide and follow it step by step to complete the setup process.
4. Log in to your mSpy dashboard and start monitoring the target device remotely.
   

2. uMobix

uMobix is another phone monitoring app that provides high levels of spy and control. With uMobix, you can remotely monitor your teen’s real-time online activity and whereabouts, restrict specific apps, impose screen time limits, disable calls & messaging, and do a whole lot more parent control.

uMobix has a treasure trove of features, making it the go-to app for catching a cheating spouse red-handed. Apart from giving you access to practically everything that’s happened, it also helps you turn on the microphone and camera, find deleted files (photos, sent&received messages, call logs), and record every keystroke that’s being registered.

The installation for uMobix is a breeze. For iPhone users, all you need is the iCloud credential; and if you use Android, you’ll be required to install it directly on the target phone. It then runs completely stealthily in the background, so your target won’t notice its presence.

1. Go to uMobix Official Website.
2. Click Try Now, and create an account with your email address.
   
3. Follow the instructions in your user account, and install uMobix on the device you want to monitor.
4. Log in to the control panel of uMobix and get automatic update reports every 5 minutes.
   

3. ClevGuard

If mSpy and uMobix are about spying, then meet ClevGuard, which is built around the idea of fostering harmonious “relationships”.

Its parental control system is known as KidsGuard Pro, which enables you to check your kids’ safety by receiving live feed about where your teens are, what they are doing online and who they are talking to (via phone call, SMS messages, and 50+ social media platforms).

ClevGuard has also helped business owners rest easier with better supervision solutions. You can keep close tabs on your employees by tracking browser history, app actvitity & email exchanges, remotely taking instant screenshots, and recording phone calls. And apart from location tracking, it also sends an alert when the tracked phone crosses the geofence.

Last but not least up ClevGuard’s sleeve is Vowly, which is dedicated to taking care of romantic relationships. Specifically, it allows couples to share real-time locations, dig out truths, and discover important information that might help save a relationship.

Here is how to use ClevGuard to protect people & things you’re holding dear to:

1. Go to ClevGuard Official Website.
2. Choose a product of your preference.
   
3. Download its respective app.
4. Configure the installation on the target phone.
5. Log into your account and start monitoring.
   

4. Log into iCloud (iOS users only)

If the person uses an iOS device, you can take advantage of iCloud to spy on them. iCloud is Apple’s cloud storage service that allows users to store data in the cloud (e.g. photos, videos, files, notes, passwords, calendar, mail). So if you have their Apple ID and password, you can log in to have access to everything they’ve stored there (which includes their phone’s location if they have turned on Find My iPhone).

Here is how to get a sneak peek into someone’s iPhone with iCloud:

1. Head to iCloud.com and sign in with your target’s iCloud credentials.
2. Depending on the types of data you want to access, click its corresponding icon. For example, by clicking on the Photos icon, you will see all of the photos the person holds on iCloud.
   

5. Get hold of their phone

This is a no-brainer. You can ask them politely what they’ve been doing with their phone and unless they’re hiding something, they should have no problems showing you.

If this doesn’t work, you can sneak your way into their phone when they’re not paying attention. But in order for this to work, you’ll need their phone password, and log-in details of other essential websites and apps.

That’s it – 5 useful tips to help you see what someone is doing on their phone. Hopefully, at least one of them has helped you stay in the loop about someone’s whereabouts and actions. If you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, you’re more than welcome to drop us a line in the comments. Thanks!
