Smartphone monitoring apps have developed a bad reputation in popular culture due to their portrayal in the media. This is because nasty characters are frequently shown to use these apps for stalking purposes. However, the reasons why these apps are developed in the first place are entirely different. For example, employers use these apps to increase productivity in the workplace. In the same way, parents resort to the use of these applications to establish supervision of the digital life of their children. In this article, we will show you how you can use one of the top performing smartphone monitoring apps. We will first identify the price and compatibility of the app, and then provide a step-by-step guide on how to install it on Android and iOS devices. We’ll then explore the features and how you can use them before providing a quick rundown.
Disclaimer- Before spying on someone’s text messages or calls, be sure to check the applicable laws in the area, as spying is not considered illegal and is a crime in some countries. We do NOT promote the use of spy apps for illegal purposes.

XNSPY is one of the first monitoring apps that was developed when the need to monitor the phone became apparent. The app has a wide range of advanced features that can help both employers and parents.
- Price
- Compatibility
You can choose between the basic and the premium version. The basic package does not offer all the features available but it costs less than the premium. The premium version offers full functionality and costs USD 7.49 per month. The basic version, on the other hand, is affordably priced at $4.99 USD per month.
The app is compatible with all iOS devices running on versions above 6.0. Similarly, XNSPY is compatible with all Android phones running on OS versions 4.0 and above.
With this out of the way, let’s take a look at how you can install XNSPY on Android and iOS devices.
Step 1 – Visit the XNSPY website and select a subscription package from the “Buy Now” menu at the top of the home page.
Step 2: Enter your contact details, such as email addresses, and make secure payments.
Step 3 – Check your email inbox for an email that contains a URL to download the installation file, your XNSPY login details, as well as a detailed guide on how to install it.
Step 4 – You need to physically access the Android phone for installation purposes only, as all monitoring after installation is completely remote. The app also remains hidden once it is properly configured.
Step 5 – Use the URL included in the email and download it to the phone you want to monitor.
Step 6: Run the process. It shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.
Step 7 – Wait a day for the app to transfer all the data to your XNSPY account.
Step 8: Log in to your XNPSY account on the app’s official website and select the corresponding Android phone. Now you can access all the data. We will walk you through how you can do that in the next segment.
Step 1 – The installation process is slightly different due to a different set of requirements. No need to physically access the iPhone. However, the iCloud backup feature must be turned on. Similarly, you need the corresponding iPhone Apple ID and password.
Step 2 – Make a payment on a subscription package and check your email for your login details.
Step 3: Visit the XNSPY website and sign in to your account.
Step 4 – Select iPhone from the My Devices menu.
Step 5 – The page will ask you to enter your Apple ID details
Step 6: Enter Apple ID and password and wait for verification.
Step 7: You can now access all the phone and data control options.
Let’s take a detailed look at how you can use the XNSPY functionality through the control panel.
- Phone logs: Click the phone log menu to view the subcategories. The phone’s log menu lists information such as all messages sent or received as well as all incoming, outgoing, and missed calls.
