The spy app provides a view on the dashboard where you can find call activities of the subject. You can also view all contacts on another view on the dashboard.
Track Suspicious Activities
Usually when people are doing something wrong on their phone they tend to delete it after the fact. That way you will not be able to see what they have done if you check their phone.
However, Spyzie logs their phone activities, even the ones they do not want you to see. Spyzie logs deleted calls, deleted messages, deleted videos, and deleted images. Deleted activities are marked with red trashcan icon.
Earlier, I talked about the Clue section helping you view deleted calls, but that’s not all it shows you. You can also view deleted messages, deleted photos, and deleted videos on the Clue section.

A lot of dangers are bound on social media. Online predators are out looking for vulnerable kids. You also have cyberbullying which is growing as a threat.
Monitoring messages and conversations of your kid on social media apps will enable you see who they are talking with on social media and what they are talking about.
This will enable you know when your kid is facing dangers like cyberbullying and cyber harassment.

Browser history is a good way to know what your kids are doing online, but kids will usually delete it after use because they know it is one of the first place you would check.

This is another handy feature for parental control. With this feature you can schedule when you do not want your kids to use their phones.
For example, if you do not want your kids using their phones after 9pm, you can set a schedule restriction that starts at 9pm. Once it is 9pm, they will no longer be able to access apps on their smartphone.
