With the continuous update of iOS, there are fewer and fewer brands that can support iPhone spy, and fewer and fewer functions can be realized. But in fact, most brands have not updated these instructions so that many users find that there is no tracking function they want after purchasing. This article is an in-depth research on the iphone spy solutions of various brands, so that users can easily and effectively find the iPhone spy app that suits them.

 

1、Quick Summary

·

It is a fact that most brands do not support iPhone surveillance anymore.

·

Currently, there are two mainstream solutions for iPhone monitoring: iCloud and USB solutions. There is also a solution suitable for jailbroken iPhones, but the implementation conditions are very strict.

·

Users who can get the iCloud account can consider SpyX, which currently supports the most features.

·

Users who can physically touch the mobile phone and connect it to the computer can consider Kidsguard pro. Currently, their USB solution has the most features.

·

It is not recommended for users to use the jailbreak solution, because it is very difficult to implement and easy to fail. But users who happen to have jailbroken the monitored device can consider Eyezy, their jailbreak monitoring solution is relatively cheaper.

·

If users are not sure which solution they can implement in the future, they can choose mSpy, Kidsguard pro and Eyezy. Their solutions are the most comprehensive. But among them, Kidsguard pro has more features, and Eyezy has an advantage in price.

 

2、Introduction of iPhone Spy Solutions

Many users are most concerned about features, but in actual use, different solutions require different implementation conditions, and users should first confirm the solution that suits them. Moreover, different monitoring solutions can achieve different features. It is very irresponsible to ignore the solutions and directly talk about the features. At present, there are three main solutions for iPhone Spy on the market. The first is to use an iCloud account, the second is to connect the iPhone to the PC via USB, and the third is to jailbreak the iPhone and then install the APP. Their characteristics are shown in the table below:
