Below is a video tutorial to find out how to use the Live control
From newer version of the app, sending commands to the phone can be done just by using the Internet - Internet Live commands. Please check some of the new features of our Phone Monitoring App (that are available for newer versions): Spy Whatsapp, Hack Whatsapp, Telegram tracker, Snapchat tracker, Instagram tracker, Facebook Tracker, Sms spy, Spy camera app, Call recorder spy or Phone Tapping.
Custom SMS commands
If you think that these commands are difficult to remember or if you do not want to send the same message multiple times then you can customize your SMS commands (read the following article).
Notes!
You can use SMS commands only if you have installed on the target phone Spapp Monitoring v7.0 or a higher version.
The messages will not be displayed on the phone and will not be annoying.
However there are some cases in which these messages will appear:
- The target phone runs Android 4.4 KitKat / 5.1 Lollipop / 6.0 Marshmallow (read the following article)
- Spapp Monitoring was uninstalled
If you encounter issues please check the Troubleshooting section or contact us.
What if they've factory reset their phone
Hi, You would have to install again the app. The only way that a tracking app would not be uninstalled after a factory reset is by setting it as a system app. Only phone manufactures cat set apps as system apps.
I have taken full subscription+ voice recording yet giving error command not sent for any live control command
Hi, Please check if the app is still installed on the phone and that the phone is connected to the Internet.

Hi, How can we help you?

IF the recording is silent, then your accessibility access was disabled. You will need access to the device to turn this setting back on.
Hey is it possible for me to send a command to the targeted phone to switch it on or off ?
Hi, We are sorry but we do not support this command. To switch it on would be impossible because if the phone is turned off, the phone would not receive the sms.
#takepicfront
Hi, This command will take a picture using the front camera of the phone
I'm receiving incoming messages but not the outgoing messages, it was working and just stopped
Hi, It is possible that the accessibility access was disabled. You must reactivate it again.
My list of sms commands are different from.the list here. For example my Start net sms command is #start_net85 Why is it like this? And does this mean if I sent an SMS with the #startnet that the target device would have recieved/seen that text message?
Hi, We used to have all the commands standard - #start_net for example. For security reasons we have changed the commands. You can also edit the commands - for example #start_net can be How was school today.
Hi. Call recording is working on Android 12 on Samsung devices? Or what devices with Android 12 have you tested and call recording feature is supported?
Call recording works on Samsung with Android 12. You need to enable the accessibility access. Depending on the laws of the country where you are located, some manufacturers may limit call recording in different ways.
Instagram option is not available
Hi, Spapp Monitoring supports tracking messages for Instagram. We also support Instagram call recording.

Plz give me recording
Hi, Samsung S8 is on Android 9. On Android 9, for some phones, call recording was removed by the phone's manufacturer because of legal problems. Since it is Android 9, Whatsapp call recording can not work. You need Android 10 to record calls on social media.
