Tracking a phone is possible with special software. This way you can keep an eye on where the owner of the device is. You must first have the smartphone or mobile phone in your possession, after which you install the software (unnoticed). However, there are also other ways to track a phone.
Track iPhone and Android
Lost your smartphone? You can track it using your Apple ID (iPhone) or Google account (Android). You must activate this option in advance. With an iPhone this works via settings > icloud.com > find my iPhone. On an Android device it works via Google settings and the device management app. Tracking a mobile phone this way only works if you own the device.
Track someone else's cell phone
It is also possible to locate (track) someone else's smartphone or mobile phone. You use software intended for tracking a mobile phone. Several companies use this. In addition, more private individuals are still curious about the behavior of their partner, family members or friends.
Control software
You can extend tracking to include control over phone behavior. You can view incoming and outgoing calls, text messages, WhatsApp messages and much more. It is also possible to view photos and videos you have taken. You also see the contact list and the web history. Control software also allows you to view the location of the phone.
The possibility of room recording is special. You send a command to the telephone via a website. This will make an audio recording for a maximum of 20 minutes. You will receive this sound file via the special internet page.
Installing control software: this is how it works
If it is important that you maintain control over smartphone use by children, then it is no problem to install the software. This is a lot more difficult to check on the partner, an acquaintance or employees. If you cannot get your hands on the smartphone, there is another option: giving a smartphone as a gift. You provide a smartphone with the software already pre-installed. The receiver of the device does not notice this.
For pre-installed devices, you can choose from a number of models such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Plus or Samsung Galaxy S9+ .
Other options for tracking people
It is not always possible to use spy software. If you want to track a person, take a look at a GPS tracker . This is a small device with a tracking system (GPS and GSM). Please note: only the extensive GPS trackers also work with GSM position.
Place the tracker in or on the vehicle or in the bag of the person you want to track. You view the real-time location via your smartphone, tablet or computer. GPS trackers work with an internal battery, or use the vehicle's power. Thanks to the use of a GPS tracker, you are not dependent on spy software for your mobile phone.
Other ways to find out information
If the above options for tracing a telephone are not possible in your situation, there are other options for obtaining information. Widely used as an alternative are spy voice recorders that record conversations in a specific room, such as a car, which can be listened to later. There are even such small voice recorders that can be placed in a jacket or bag. If you need the information immediately and cannot wait until you have the voice recorder back in your possession, a listening device is a better idea. These devices have a built-in SIM card that you call and immediately hear what is said in the room.
