1. Track a Cell Phone That’s Not Yours
To track someone else’s phone such as your children and employees, you can simply use a cell phone tracking app such as mSpy Premium. This is a very small yet powerful app that can be installed in just a few simple steps. The whole installation process takes only 2-3 minutes to complete. Once installed the app stays hidden on the phone but keeps track of its GPS location. Furthermore it also records call, text messages, social media activity and much more.
How Tracking Works?
- First of all, download and install the tracking app onto the target phone that you wish to track.
- Have the target phone in your hand for a few minutes until the installation is complete.
- Finally after installation is done, the tracking process will begin immediately. Recorded logs are silently uploaded to your online account as shown in the demo below.
- You can login to this online account any time to view the logs containing GPS location and all other activities.

2. Tracking a Lost Cell Phone
If you would rather need to track a lost or stolen phone, here are some of the options you are left with.
For Android Phones:
To track a lost android phone, you can follow the steps mentioned below:
- Download Android Device Manager from Google play store and install it on another android device. This app lets you track your stolen android phone and also lets to remotely lock or erase all the data on it.
- From “Android Device Manager” log into your Google account using the same ID associated with your lost phone. After successful login this app will attempt to locate your device and show its last known location on the map.
- In addition, you will also be able to perform several actions on your lost phone such as give a Ring, Lock the device or Erase all the data stored on it.
For Apple iPhones:
In order to track a lost iPhone, you can follow the steps mentioned below:
- Login to the iCould Website using an Apple ID associated with your lost phone. Since location tracking is turned on by default on all iPhone devices, iCould lets you track it from your web browser or your iPad and shows its location on the map.
- When your phone is found nearby to your location you have an option to Play Sound on it so that your iPhone will emit a sound helping you track it down.
- If this does not help you can choose the option Lost Mode which will remotely lock your phone down and display a phone number that can be reached at.
- When none of the above options work, you can finally decide to go with the option Erase iPhone which will completely wipe out all the data stored on it. This way you can prevent your private information from falling into the wrong hands.
For Windows Phones:
In order to track down a lost Windows phone, you can try the below mentioned steps.
- Go to Windows Phone Website to find a list of tracking controls and options.
- This will ask you to sign-in using your Windows account associated with your lost phone. If your phone gets traced you will see a map showing its exact location. You will also find options to Lock, Ring and Erase its data in case if your phone is found to be completely lost.

The app has to be installed on the target phone and not on your phone. Once installed the app runs in 100% stealth mode and hence goes unnoticed. All the logs are uploaded to spy-app’s servers which can be accessed by logging into your online account from any web browser across the world.

Does the gps have to be on? What if he turns it off?
The app will automatically turn on the GPS when required even if it is kept off by the user.

How to track a phone for me please I need you guys help
If you lost your phone no chance of getting back. android device manager works only when you have active gps and internet . If anyone find then the person removes the sim card . if a person hard reset your phone then no chance to track your phone. IMEI no. is given only for kidding purpose , you cant track your phone using IMEI . the police authority is not going to find your phone. It is best to protect your phone is take precaution avoid loosing your phone anywhere. you should take care of phone in public transport.
I would like to track my boyfriend phone. But I know it’s impossible. His phone has a lock on it, he doesn’t allow me to touch his phone ever. There is no way I can download any app on his phone. He’s always on Whatsapp texting.
Will this app record snapchat pics and messages as well
Yes it will record snapchat pics and messages.
If my missing phone is off then can I still be able to install this spy software in stolen phone? And if already that person had removed my sim card?
No, it is not possible to use this software if you do not have physical access to the target phone.

i want to search a missing person from 15 days.the number is switched off nd we have only imi number.

No it is not possible to use this app to track an already stolen phone.
once we install an application on target phone, after my work done how can i uninstall the app from the target phone???
You can uninstall the app remotely from your control panel once your work is done.
Can you track a phone with out downloading an app to it or ever physically touching the phone. Say just using a cell number can you track a cell phone?
No, you cannot track a phone without installing the tracking application on it.
Is it possible to do a anonymous remote installation by sending the target phone a link? ie: cell phone owner clicks on link and the software installs itself and they not know it has been installed?
Yes this is possible. But to make this happen, you need to upload the target file to a cloud or similar and share the direct download link with the target user you want to track.
Hello, does the cell has to be rooted? And how much is the program ? If a factory reset is done is the program gone ???
Thanks
The program also works without rooting but only basic features work with this. For all recording features to work, you need to have a rooted device. Yes, factory reset will erase the program.
If I suspect it’s on my phone how do I go through and remove it
You can perform a factory reset on your phone to remove it!
Once I buy it how do I install it into the target phone? Do I send the app by text or email to the Target phone and then install it?
You need to manually install the app on the target phone which takes 2-3 min to complete.
