Benefits of Using SpyX

1. Undetectable

With SpyX, the user of target iPhone will not know you are tracking them. SpyX doesn’t require app installation. And it uses the iCloud backup to spy on target iPhone without touching it.

SpyX doesn't gather data from third-party apps to store on its server. Actually, it doesn’t have access to such data.

4. Website based

SpyX is an online-based phone tracking app that lets you track an iPhone remotely. It allows you to use any web browser to start tracking your target without installing any special software.
