What a spy app is used for
The most common reasons why parents and companies turn to a monitoring app.
Read chat histories
Incoming and outgoing messages from WhatsApp, SMS and other messengers appear in the control panel, complete with timestamps and contact names.
Look after children
Parents notice sooner if their child is in touch with strangers, is being bullied or comes across content that is not age appropriate.
Follow the location
The GPS position and location history show where the device has been. Explained in more detail on our phone tracking page.
Check photos and videos
Saved and sent media are transferred as well, so sensitive images stand out before they spread any further.
Document calls
Call logs and the phone book reveal who was called, for how long and how often — including unknown numbers.
Manage company phones
On work devices you can document how the hardware is used, provided your employees know about it and have agreed to it.

Read WhatsApp with a spy app
Do you want to monitor WhatsApp and read entire chat histories? The mSpy spy app makes that possible, without anything on the phone revealing that it is being monitored. The app reliably collects the messages exchanged with WhatsApp contacts, and you can then review the WhatsApp data on your computer.

How the recorded data is presented
All information comes together in a personal control panel that you open with your login details from any computer, tablet or phone. The navigation on the left lets you pick the area you need — calls, SMS, locations, photos or WhatsApp, for example.
Entries are sorted by date and can be searched. You can see at a glance whether a message was sent or received, who was involved and when the exchange took place. If you prefer, you can export the report and go through it at your own pace.
Requirements for the setup
These points should be in place before you buy a package.

- A compatible target device: an iPhone or an Android smartphone running Android 5 or newer
- One-off physical access to the device in order to install the app
- On Android, installation from unknown sources has to be allowed
- On the iPhone, the iCloud credentials may be required depending on the method
- A permanent internet connection on the monitored phone
- Your own account in the mSpy control panel with login details
Four steps to get started
-
Choose a package
Decide between Basic and Premium and pick a term of 1, 3 or 12 months. Premium pays off as soon as you want to read messengers such as WhatsApp.
-
Activate your account
After the purchase you receive your control panel login details by email. That is where you register the device you want to monitor.
-
Install the app
A wizard guides you through the setup on the target device. Allow yourself a few undisturbed minutes with the phone.
-
Review the data
Once the first sync is complete, messages, media, call logs and locations appear in your browser and can be accessed from anywhere.
Benefits and limits at a glance
A monitoring app can do a great deal, but not everything. This comparison helps you set realistic expectations.
What speaks in favour
- iPhones and Android smartphones running Android 5 or newer are supported — from Samsung and Xiaomi to Huawei and Motorola
- Everything is reviewed in the browser, so no second device is needed
- Deleted messages remain visible in the control panel as long as they were transferred beforehand
- The monitored phone can be switched during the licence term
- Email support replies within 48 hours
What you should know
- WhatsApp end-to-end encryption is not bypassed — only what is visible on the device itself can be read
- Without one-off physical access to the target device, the setup usually cannot be completed
- While the phone is offline, no new data is transferred
- Major system updates can make it necessary to set the app up again
- Monitoring without consent is not legally permitted
Frequently asked questions about the spy app
Does the app work equally well on iPhone and Android?
Yes. iPhones and Android smartphones running Android 5 or newer are supported. The exact range of features varies depending on the operating system, its version and the setup method, but core functions such as messages, call logs and location are available on both platforms.
Do I have to get hold of the target device?
In most cases, yes. Installing on an Android device requires one-off physical access. On the iPhone, setup via the iCloud credentials may be possible depending on the method. After that, everything is reviewed remotely.
Can I read WhatsApp despite the encryption?
The end-to-end encryption itself is not broken. The app reads the messages where they are already decrypted — on the device. Reading WhatsApp and other messengers is only included in the Premium package.
How much does the spy app cost?
The Basic package starts at 26,99 € for one month, 52,99 € for three months and 74,99 € for twelve months. Premium costs 59,99 €, 100,99 € and 169,99 € respectively. All figures are quoted plus VAT.
Can I switch the monitored phone later on?
Yes, switching the monitored phone is already included in the Basic package. You can move the licence to another device within the term without having to buy a new one.
Who do I turn to if something goes wrong?
Both packages include email support that replies within 48 hours. For questions about this website, please use our contact form.
Ready to start monitoring?
Basic from €26.99, Premium from €59.99 — both packages are ready to use right after purchase. Over a twelve-month term that works out at €6.25 per month.
