Today, we will be reviewing xnSPY which is an app that you can install onto an Android device to monitor its activity, and because we love in-depth reviews, we thought it would be a nice idea to hear what the app is all about from its development team. So we contacted Joe Blake who is the Creative Marketing Head at XNSPY to tell us something about their surveillance app.

“XNSPY is an app that parents and employers can use to monitor smartphone activity of the people that concerns them. We believe that the app can help businesses through an additional layer of surveillance, and if used with other tools like CCTVs, can really make a major difference in overall security of a workplace. The app needs to be to be manually downloaded and installed onto an Android device before it can start with the monitoring part.”, said Blake.

The app is 100 percent legal to use under U.S. statute, but the rules and regulations can vary depending on the state you are living in. However, there are a few preconditions that you have to follow to avoid any legal repercussions. They are:

•    You need to be the legal owner of the device you want to monitor.

•    You have to take the legal consent of the person who wish to monitor.

 While these prerequisites are easily to follow, still majority of the people are engaging in secretive spying activities, which is illegal, except for the case of parents monitoring smartphones of their minor kids.

Mobile phone surveillance definitely has a future as one-third of the world web traffic is generated through cell phones. By the end of 2020, we can expect around 6.1 billion smartphone users, making the feasibility of mobile surveillance even better. However, there are many risks involved too if these apps become mainstream. XNSPY and its likes are already being used for secretively spying on others, and there is no way to make it stop. So get your facts straight before you use this app.
