Keep Tabs On Your Teenagers Messaging Habits With Cell Phone Spy Equipment

You may be wondering if you should remote install cell phone spy on your child or teenager's phone. Spying on cell phones is very common among parents and caretakers who worry about their children – and you shouldn't feel guilty or bad about spying. It's your child's safety on the line! 

Standard cell phone spy ware may only monitor texting and phone calls, but kids these days use a number of ways to communicate including messenger services that work through their data or internet connection. To monitor these apps, you need a service like Auto Forward Spy.

Facebook Messenger

Communicating through Facebook messenger doesn't require your child to have the intended recipients phone number. Bullies and predators can find your child's Facebook profile and send them messages under the radar.  Make sure you monitor this closely.

WhatsApp

This messenger requires that you know the other person's phone number. This is often used to bypass text messaging data that shows up on the cell phone bill. Using cell phone spy ware will help you trace all incoming and outgoing messages sent through this app. You child may be using this to send inappropriate photos or messages to a boyfriend/girlfriend or maybe even a drug dealer.

Google Hangouts

Anyone who can find your child's google account online can communicate with them via Hangouts. Hangouts also give your child the ability to video chat with other people. This is much less secure than Facebook messenger – opening the door to anyone from around the world to interact with your child.

Snapchat

Snapchat is a sneaky app that allows the recipient to see the message for a brief amount of time. Teenagers and children may think this is a secure way to communicate, but really it's a way to fly under their parents’ radar. When you use Auto Forward Spy – you can see exactly what's happening on their Snapchat.

Skype

Skype allows your child or teen to send messages, make phone calls and video chat with anyone that can be searched within the app. This is potentially dangerous because anyone can send a request to your child and begin video chatting with them. This opens doors for online predators and inappropriate interaction with peers.

Traditional methods of spying will not give you the sense of security like Auto Forward Spy can. Cover all of your bases and make sure your teen or child's messengers aren't being used for the wrong reasons. Installing cell phone spy ware is a great way to make sure your child or teen is staying out of trouble and not communicating with predators or bullies.
