How spy apps can be installed on your phone?

[johnsaolivers]

I was told that your wife could install (even remotely) some spyware on your phone and I would like to find how she can do this without my permission. Do you know how spy apps can be installed on iPhones? I looked through different articles and read that it's possible only if she will take my phone in her hands to install manually. But I think there could be other methods.

The biggest problem associated with third-party spyware applications is privacy restrictions. It is important for users to familiarize themselves with their local privacy laws and refrain from acting in an illegal estate.

Spy apps are a threat to privacy. While they may not be as pervasive as some of the spying tools that have been used in the past, today’s devices can be easily compromised with spy apps.

So what do you do?

You can either look down on spy apps and not even bother to install them, or you can install them and meet the challenge of finding a way to turn them off when you need to. There’s a third option: consider installing and using spy apps yourself!

Spy apps let you turn on the microphone (or keylogger) without leaving your device, or thinking about installing it on your device. There is also a Spy/Tracking app for Mac OS X. The app will allow you to turn on your microphone and/or keylogger by simply pressing the “macOS” icon in your menu bar (just like if it was installed). The app has several features such as location tracking, screenshot capture, audio recording, etc. It does not have access to data about your device – but only about what it records. In fact, it doesn’t even have access to any information about the application itself!
