Hello.
Thank you for your question.
Regrettably, access to the target device is needed in order to install mSpy.
So I want to monitor an iPhone and I know the icloud address but I don’t know the password. Do I need the password as well? If so how would I get that besides trying to watch over his shoulder? Any tips, tricks or ideas?
Hello.
Thank you for your questions.
The password and verification code from the device is needed.
Can I use mspy in my Android device to monitor to an Android?
Hello.
Thank you for your question.
You can do that, you would need to have access to the target Android device.
If i have target iphone icloud and password. Do i need her phone physically? if i also get the verification code easily.
Hello.
Thank you for your question.
If you can get a code without touching the device, you can do that.
Please, be advised, Apple sends notification about successful login to email after you log in.
Using Method 2 (Wi-fi synch), what notifications are sent out and to where, if any?
Hello.
Thank you for your question.
There would be no notifications.
Hi. What does the verification code look like on the targeted phone? I wont be around the phone that is needed monitoring for a week. I can easily say that our apple ID needs verification or something for the person to give me the code and not think anything of it but didn’t know what it looks like on their phone.
Hello.
It looks like 6 digit code for iCloud verification.
I don’t have access to the pH physically. How to pair then. Android device
Hello.
Thank you for your question.
The access is needed.
hi,
Can I monitor a mobile with Mobile IME number ?
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
The only way to monitor a phone is to install our software directly on that device.
You can not track the phone over the phone number or IMEI number. It’s technically impossible.
Can mspy track these old fashioned button phones
Hello.
Thank you for your questions.
The mSpy works on smartphone (Android and iPhones)
Is it possible to wifi sync an android without physical access or is that option only from iphone?
Hello.
Thank you for your questions.
The access is needed for all devices.
Hi
Target device is android and mine IOS
Pls let me know the process to connect
Are passwords needed for option 2, the WIFI sync? For instance, Once I connect to my laptop will i need to unlock target phone, etc? And the end result for both options is the same? All monitoring will be the same?
Hi Lisa!
Thank you for your question!
WiFi Sync offers more features than iCloud sync. For iCloud option, it’s necessary to have the phone unlocked just to check the 2-FA code that will come on the phone. For Wi-Fi Sync, you must have the phone unlocked first, and then you have to enter a lock screen password to authorize connection.
It should be installed on target device or not to get all message of Facebook and Whatsapp

Hi Ann! Thank you for reaching out!
mSpy requires physical access to the target phone for 5–10 minutes for a setup. The phone must have internet connection – otherwise it won’t be updating.
In the dashborad i have this message:
To grant missing permissions
Make a “call” to your access code 000000 from the monitored device.
Which/where is the access code?
Hi Flipflop,
You must be referring to code “1000000” (1 million). This code should be sent from your device to the target device as a regular text message (SMS) in order to re-fresh the connection. This procedure should be done if you do not receive any updates for more than 8 hours.
We recommend contacting our online chat support. They are available 24/7 and will be happy to assist you with any inquiry!
