Hidden Spy Apps For Android What You Must Know

We get a lot of questions about spying on Android phones ever day here at pcTattletale.  But the single biggest question we get is:

Can I send them a text message and start spying on them?

In theory you could do this.  The only problem is they are going to have to install an app and give it lots of permissions to do the Android Spying.  You need to remember that Google thinks a lot about this when they design Android.  I will bet it is at the top of the list: Prevent Android from being hacked.

Now if anyone could send you a text message and start spying on you that would be a huge problem for Android.  We would all hear about it on the news.  Somebody would start mass texting all of us and spying on our phones.

Hopefully you can see why just sending a text message will not work for hidden spy apps for Android.

The best way to use hidden spy apps for android is to get access to their phone and install a spying app.  Preferably you will not need to root their phone and void their warranty.  In the next section I will show you how to use pcTattletale as a hidden spy app for Android.  You can sign up for a free account and follow along too.

 

 

pcTattletale Hidden Spy App for Android

pcTattletale is one of the most powerful hidden spy apps for android you can get. It is the best spy app without rooting. The reason is because it works so much differently from every other spy app out there.  Plus you do not need to root the phone.  You can just download and install the app like any other app and it will start spying on them.  The best part is it is hidden so they will not find it.

The first step is to download the app and install it on their phone.  You can just do the URL below from their phone and download the app:

TIP:  The pcTattletale is not called pcTattletale but rather “security services”.  I will tell you why later.

 

When you download the app it will probably complain the our spy app did not come from the Google Play store.  No worries.  Just check the box “Allow Unknown” sources like the screen shot below.  Then you can install the app:

Android allow unknown sources for spy apps

As you install pcTattletale we will ask you set various permissions on their phone.  This is what lets the apps do all the spying (I will show you how it works later).  Just follow through the setup screens and agree to allow the permissions.

Eventually you will be asked to create a free account using your email:

How Hidden is the pcTattletale Spy App?

You may notice a new icon on your phone’s desktop.  This is a little different spying on a computer.  But the icon  It will disappear after a few seconds.  We have done a few tricks to keep pcTattletale hidden.  The first one is we do not call it pcTattletale.

Unfortunately there are parts of Android that list out every single app on the phone.  There is just no way around it.  So by calling the app “Security Services” instead, the person you are watching is less likely to notice it.  In fact the only place where you could see pcTattletale is in the app list deep in the Android settings:

If you went through our pcTattletale Android setup guide and removed any icons or popups like we show you then you can rest at ease that they will not see the Android spy app you put on the phone.  Now with the app recording lets see what you get.

pcTattletale sends their activity up to a secured storage system in “the cloud”.   We use SSL and AES encryption so you know your data is safe.  The good news is you will not need to open or touch their phone to see what they did.  You just need to use the free account you made earlier and sign into the pcTattletale website.

Pick the Activity icon and you will see pcTattletale made a little “YouTube” like video of you setting up the phone.  There should be a few frames in there that you can see by pressing the play button in the video player:

Notice the screen shot above has an activity chart on the bottom.  Yours has one too but there is probably not very much activity yet.  Just know you can use this to see how active they are.  You can even click on the bars to advance yourself far into the video.

TIP: Use the progress bar at the bottom of the video to skim through it quickly

Another cool thing you can try is to hold their phone in one hand and start browsing around on the web.  Then click the “live” button in the video player:

Save Cheating Android App evidence

Go back to the dashboard and pick the phone’s name again.  Now click the location tracker icon.  Notice pcTattletale is logging your GPS location.  We request Android’s “fine location” setting and try to get you the most accurate location that Android will give us.  pcTattletale will log the phone’s location each time they unlock it and every 15 min.
