Xnspy Review: Monitoring Software for Mobiles and Tablets

You will come across plenty of phone monitoring software. But when you plan to get one, you will see that only a few of them would provide you with the right mix of features, price, compatibility, and performance. One of them is Xnspy which is designed to efficiently monitor both Android and iOS devices. After installing it on a device, you can view its text messages, call logs, web browsing history, locations, instant messenger chats, emails, and a lot more.

Xnspy – Who can use it?

Owing to Xnspy’s diverse monitoring features, it has become popular amongst parents to stay atop on their children’s digital activities. Similarly, employers are also using it to watch their employees closely.

Using this app is quite simple, but you need to make sure that Xnspy is compatible with the phone you wish to use it on. That is not an issue as the monitoring app is perfectly compatible with both Android and iOS. Apart from this, you need to have physical access to the Android phone you want to monitor. As for an iPhone, having only the iCloud credentials would work.

How does Xnspy work?

As said earlier, you need to install Xnspy on the phone you want to monitor, and if it is an iPhone, the app will sync with the cloud. Now, many apps claim to monitor Android phones for free or without the requirement of the physical installation. Do NOT fall for it, as it doesn’t work that way. So far, no technology lets you monitor an Android device remotely without the installation.

Xnspy collects the data from the phone and sends it to the online dashboard allowing you to view it whenever. The app requires internet to send the data from the device to the dashboard. But, even if there is no internet connection, the app does not stop recording. Xnspy is one of the few monitoring apps to support offline tracking. Then, as soon as the phone connects to the internet, it transfers the recorded data to the online dashboard.

Compatibility

Here is a compatibility chart for the app:

Android	iPhone (No Jailbreak)
4.x, 5.x, 6.x, 7.x & 8.x	6.x, 7.x, 8.x up to 12.0.1

 

Installation

The installation process is fairly simple, and you will get all the necessary guidance via email. The email will have the URL for app download, activation code, and your web account credentials.

For the non-tech savvy people, Xnspy offers assistance through remote installation support for Android users. Using TeamViewer, the remote team would install the app on your target device. But you would still need physical access to the phone. There are plenty of how-to guides and video tutorials on the website to help you with the installation. It is barely a 10-minute process.

You will be ready to access the dashboard after 24 hours as the app requires some time to gather all the data after installation.

Online Dashboard 

You can either use the dashboard app or https://cp.xnspy.com/ to access your web account. The dashboard serves as a control panel for the app. The app features a simple and user-friendly interface ensuring ease of use for all.

The moment you log into the app, a graph would display on the screen. It will show you the different activities so, you can easily review the text message, calls, and location activities.

A menu on the left side of the dashboard has different categories. Clicking on each of them assists you in easy navigation through the app and phone activities.
