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.
Call recording doesnt work on watsapp or normal call. Its a Samsung s8. Can yiu help me plz
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.

Hi, Please contact our support team so that we can look into your account. In general you need to activate accessibility and notification access for Spapp Monitoring.
