FlexiSPY Review 2025

As I mentioned, this feature is really FlexiSPY’s standout offering for me. While messaging is the go-to for most people, be it SMS or social media chat apps, plenty still rely on good old phone calls. FlexiSPY’s call recording feature is a great way to monitor all the conversations the other person is having. Unlike other apps that only keep track of call logs, FlexiSPY actually records each conversation.

FlexiSPY records all incoming or outgoing calls and shows you the date and time of these calls and their duration. If you’re worried about long conversations or not sure who your kid or spouse is talking to, you can go to the Call Recording tab and download the audio file to hear the conversation in full. Along with phone calls, you can also record calls placed through apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Skype.

With rooting, you can even intercept a call and listen to the conversation in real-time. This requires a setup process, though, and you can’t jump into every call. You will have to specify which number you want to monitor and then set up “Live Listen” in the Call Interception hub.

You then get a text message when they are on a call with this person, and you can patch in. One thing I should mention is that I learned the hard way that you should mute your microphone before joining this call since they might be able to hear background noise, even if you are silent and know that there’s another person on the call. I was only testing the app, so it wasn’t a big problem, but something to keep in mind.

This is a must-have feature for parents. FlexiSPY lets you use the phone’s camera and microphone to record its surroundings. This way, if your kids are being bullied in school, you’ll not only find out immediately but will have evidence to take appropriate action.

This feature can also be used to ensure the general safety of the target user. Whether they’re at work, school, or traveling, you’ll always be aware of their surroundings.

I found that there are three ways to use this feature. The first lets you take pictures with the other phone’s front and rear cameras. The good news is that these photos won’t show up in the device’s gallery and will only be available in your FlexiSPY portal. You can also activate the camera to record video or just use the microphone to listen to the other person’s surroundings.

The only catch is that you can’t set schedules and preset fixed times to activate this feature. You’ll have to do so manually from the dashboard every time. However, this feature is definitely geared towards active monitoring, so I didn’t mind the extra couple of steps.

One of the reasons I recommend FlexiSPY for social media monitoring is that it covers a wide range of applications. In addition to Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat, it helps you track Discord, TikTok, Line, Viber, and Skype.

Some apps only show you messages on these platforms, but FlexiSPY covers everything. For example, on Facebook, I was able to see posts, likes, comments, and even what groups and communities they have joined.

While most other monitoring apps are limited to Tinder spying when it comes to tracking dating apps, FlexiSPY stays a step ahead by helping you track their interactions on Bumble, OKCupid, and Badoo.

FlexiSPY’s excellent GPS tracker helps you monitor the other device’s location in real-time. You’ll get a map view that shows where the device is currently and where it has been before. This makes it easier to recognize their location through landmarks and street names (both will be available on the app).

FlexiSPY also comes with geofencing, which lets you create virtual boundaries. You’ll be alerted when the other person leaves these limits, allowing for better passive monitoring.

As you can imagine, this feature is a great way to ensure your kids aren’t ditching school or to keep your partner safe when they leave work. Employers can also track employees and see whether they are sticking to their sales routes or are in the office when they are supposed to be.

App monitoring is a must-have feature for parental control apps, and FlexiSPY knocks it out of the park. It’s important to know what your kids do with their phones, what apps they use, and how much time they spend on them. Without a little control, your kids might engage with age-inappropriate content or be simply addicted to a certain app.

One thing to mention is that FlexiSPY’s app monitoring will likely show you everything you need, but it’s quite basic. For exampe, I found that while it shows what app they’ve installed and gives you timestamps for when they launch the app, that’s the only information you get. Of course, if they frequently use social media apps, you can switch to the tracking section of these apps to see what they are up to. However, you wouldn’t be able to tell how long your child is playing a game on their phone, only that they’ve launched the app.

FlexiSPY provides you with certain remote commands that you can use to control the other device. For example, suppose your child receives an SMS containing certain words you don’t find suitable for a minor. In that case, you can actually intercept the message, rephrase the text, and send it again. Your child will never know that the message has been altered.

Similarly, you can remotely restart their device, turn features like notifications and silent mode on or off and also check the device’s battery levels.

Keylogger software is ideal for people who don’t want to miss a single update, as it shows you literally everything the other person types.

This means that if they write a scandalous message or contact someone they shouldn’t but then delete it before sending, you’ll still be able to read it. Also, since the keystrokes are recorded chronologically, you can use this feature to extract passwords from the target device.

The catch is that because it tracks the keyboard, the keylogger only works with the device’s default keyboard. This is not a problem when monitoring a PC, but I found that it doesn’t work at all if the other person has installed a third-party keyboard from the app store on their phone, although that’s not very common so it shouldn’t be an issue for you.

If you’re monitoring a computer, FlexiSPY will help you keep an eye on the files that are shared. You’ll have the names of the files that have recently been transferred, along with the names of the USBs that were connected to the system in the recent past.

Sometimes, people name their USBs and pen drives after themselves or things that can be used to recognize them. If that is the case, you’ll not only know which files have been compromised but also find the person behind it.

There’s also printer tracking. As the name suggests, it tracks all the documents that have been printed from the system.

Both these features are best suited for people who carry confidential documents on their system. No matter which method the intruder opts for, if a file goes out of your system, you’ll definitely find out.

One thing that I really like about FlexiSPY is that it’s not only a capable spy app for Android and iPhone, it also works great on most devices. The installation process is slightly different and more complicated for iOS, but except for the Lite plan, FlexiSPY includes its Installation Service (priced at $54.99) with the premium tiers, so you won’t have to worry about it at all.

You can also choose whether to download the app on unrooted or rooted Android phones. However, I suggest checking FlexiSPY’s compatibility list on their site first to double-check if the phone you want to monitor is compatible. Here, you can enter the device name and model you want to track and check if FlexiSPY will work on the device.

The good news is that the features are largely the same regardless of the platform, making FlexiSPY an excellent phone tracker.

Installation on iPads is a bit easier, and you can use the same compatibility feature on FlexiSPY’s site to check your model. The app is compatible with iOS versions 6.0 to 14.X.

If you don’t know the iPad’s OS version, go to Settings, click “General,” and then click on “About.” Here, you’ll find information about your iPad’s make and model, including what version of iOS it’s running on.

FlexiSPY also works with both Windows and macOS, something that I learned is not super common with monitoring apps . Regarding Windows compatibility, it supports Windows 7, 8 (and 8.1), 10, and 11. Here’s how you can check the Windows version of your system:

1. Click on the Start button.
2. Type Run in the search box and press “Enter”.
3. Next, type “winver” in the Run Window and press “enter”. The Windows version will be displayed.

In terms of Mac compatibility, FlexiSPY supports most OS versions, including Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. Check your version with FlexiSPY’s compatibility feature.

Here’s how to check the version of your macOS system:

1. Click on the Apple icon at the top left-hand corner
2. Tap on “About This Mac”. The version of your macOS will be shown.

For both devices, you’ll need physical access to the system, an internet connection, and the login credentials of the target user. If you’re trying to track a macOS, the device will also need at least 8GB of RAM to accommodate the app.
