Android Keyloggers Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Someone can track your phone<\/a> using a keylogger<\/a>. However, most keylogger apps are not available on the Google Play Store. To install the apps on your Android device, first, enable the installation of apps from third-party sources. You will also need to disable Play Protect from Google Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> All these apps are compatible with Android devices. However, you can see their tracking reports on a browser from any phone or PC<\/a> through the app’s service dashboard.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

mSpy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

mSpy is a verified company with real users. It scores highly on Trustpilot, with users rating it 3.6 stars from 4k+ reviews<\/a>. The app is also popular on Facebook, as 35K people follow mSpy<\/a>. Not to mention 5k followers on Instagram<\/a> and 18.1k followers on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compatibility:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Android 4+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Experience:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tracking an Android phone<\/a> with mSpy was not difficult. First, I needed physical access to the target Android device. I also disabled Play Protect for the keylogger download to work. The good thing is that I did not jailbreak or root the device. I then accessed the keylogger feature on the online dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dashboard<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

mSpy keylogger for Android could capture the keystrokes from various apps on the Android device. It provided the text, the app used, and the time the text was tracked. Moreover, it’s an undetectable keylogger since the app operates in stealth mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

mSpy also let me know when certain keywords and phrases were used in chats or searches. I set alerts for certain keywords, and after they were used, I could see how they were used by seeing the text on the keylogger feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my experimenting with it, this keylogger for Android was accurate and timely. I also liked that the app could track keystrokes from social media, instant messaging, and incoming and outgoing calls. Based on my experience, it is the best keylogger for tracking activity on kids’ Android phones and company devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
