Cell phone tracking software used to be one of those things that you only saw in the movies. Law enforcement authorities, private investigators, creepy stalker-types . . . they all seemed to have access to it at one point or another. They could tap into cell phones and find out what a person was saying, whom they were saying it to, and where they were located, all from some van sitting outside. But the reality is, almost anyone could be using cell phone tracking software right now, from their own home, and doing virtually the same thing they show in the movies. Is someone using it to spy on your phone calls?
Well, probably not. Most cell phone tracking software only works if it is installed directly onto your cell phone. So unless someone in your household is spying on your phone calls, you are probably safe. But it's not 100 percent out of the question -- if you are up to anything suspicious on your phone, and your spouse, parent, or whoever doesn't trust you, they can install cell phone tracking software on your phone at any time and you wouldn't even know you were being watched.
How does cell phone spy software work? It is virtually undetectable. It doesn't show up as a running or installed program on your phone. It doesn't make any noises, and it doesn't leave any tracks. It silently sends your information directly to the computer. It will show your cell phone logs, your contact records, your text message transcripts, and even turn your phone into a GPS tracker. Many spouses use it to see if their husband or wife is cheating on them. Parents use it to keep track of their children, where they are, and who they're texting. It can actually be helpful in those cases.
So can the average joe use cell phone tracking software to spy on your calls? Nope. But if you have something to hide, and someone signficant in your life wants to use it on you, you'll never know it's there until you get caught. And even then you might not know! So it's best to be honest and not have anything to hide in the first place.
