How To Spy On Your Spouse's Cell Phone Without Their Knowledge

If your spouse is doing something behind your back, there is almost certain to be evidence of their activities on their phone. Even when a spouse is very careful to not leave anything incriminating laying around, their phone can still tell you their location and even let you listen to their surroundings.

In this article, you will learn about spying on a spouse's phone. Before getting started, you should know that in most places it will only be legal to do this if you own the device. Even then, you must consult with a lawyer before proceeding as in some jurisdictions consent will still be needed.

The Most Common Ways People Spy On Their Spouse's Phone Without Them Knowing

If you think your spouse is up to something, one of the best ways to find out for sure is to install a spy app on their phone. These apps are designed to track everything that happens on a phone, and they can be installed without the user ever knowing.

Once you have a spy app installed, you'll be able to see all of the call logs, text messages, and even GPS location data. You can also use the app to listen in on their calls or read their texts.

We're going to cover three apps that you can use, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

mSpy

mSpy is one of the most popular spy apps on the market, and it has a lot of advanced features that can help you secretly spy on your spouse's phone.

One of mSpy's standout features is its GPS location tracking, you can use this to see where your spouse is at all times, and you can even set up geofencing to alert you when they leave a certain area.

Additionally, mSpy can also spy on your their Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp conversations, as well as text messages.

mSpy also includes a screen recorder to record what's happening on the cell phone in real time so you can be sure nothing escapes being seen.

Finally, mSpy includes a keylogger to record all of the passwords and usernames your spouse types into their cell phone.

To use mSpy, you'll need to first install the app on their device. Once installed, it will remain completely hidden and you can log in to your mSpy account to see all of the data the app is collecting without your spouse knowing it's there.

EyeZy

EyeZy came out in 2022 and focuses on being user-friendly while not sacrificing surveillance features. Features are similar to mSpy, allowing you to monitor text messages, social media activity, and view their GPS location history overlaid on a map.

Compatibility is the best I have seen with any spying app, with EyeZy being compatible with every major iPhone and Android device released since 2014.

One advantage EyeZy offers over the other two apps discussed is that it can be installed without having to root or jailbreak the target phone. This makes installation much simpler and less conspicuous, as well as negates any possibility of voiding the warranty on the device.

The disadvantage of EyeZy is that it doesn't offer as many features as mSpy or uMobix. However, it's still a very good option if you're looking for an easy-to-use method that offers good value for the money.

uMobix

uMobix is a spy app that offers a wide range of features for spying on your spouse's phone. You can track their GPS location, read their text messages, and access all social media activity.

It is my preferred method because it allows you to activate the target cell phone's cameras or microphone at will. For the purpose of spying on one's spouse, especially one that may be a little cautious, being able to use the target phone to eavesdrop on conversations can be startlingly eye-opening.

The disadvantage of uMobix is that it's more expensive than some of the other options on this list. It also requires you to have physical access to the phone in order to install the app, though installation will only take 5-10 minutes. After that, the app runs in the background and silently harvests data which you will access through a web-based dashboard.

Tips For Spying

1. Check their call history.

Checking the call history is one of the easiest ways to find out whom they've been talking to and for how long. If you see any calls to unfamiliar numbers or calls that last for unusually long periods of time, those could be signs of cheating and are worth investigating further.

2. Look at their text messages and email.

Just like with calls, text messages and emails can provide a lot of clues about what your spouse is up to. Be sure to check not only their inboxes but also sent messages and even draft emails; sometimes the most telling information is in something that was started but never actually sent.

3. Check their social media accounts.

Social media can be a goldmine of information about what your spouse is up to when you're not around. Check any groups or pages they are a member of as well as any comments they have made on other people's posts.

4. Track their phone.

Sometimes mundane details like where they were are a certain time can make you aware of patterns of deceit or ease your concerns when you see they have only been where they were supposed to go. Using GPS tracking software can show you not only their current location but also where they have been over a period of time.

Conclusion

If you think your spouse is cheating on you, the best way to find out for sure is to install a surveillance app on their phone. These apps are designed to track everything that happens on a mobile device, and they can be installed without the user ever knowing.

Each of the methods we've discussed has its own advantages and disadvantages, so make sure to choose the one that best suits your needs.

Installing an application on their smartphone may be the best way to catch a cheating spouse, but it's important to use these apps responsibly. Make sure to respect the other person's privacy, and only use these apps in cases where you have a legitimate reason to suspect cheating and are legally protected in doing so.
