mSpy is an undetectable app because its icon is hidden and it is installed with a fake name, so it’s not possible to detect it easily. However, can you still tell if someone is using mSpy to spy on you.
A spy app is like a regular app but invisible, so it also uses your phone resources like every app does and hence it leaves some signs behind which indicate that your phone might be is under surveillance. Here are some telltale sign that shows you are being monitored using mSpy
Signs That Tell Someone Is Spying On You Using mSpy
- Your phone battery may die more quickly than usual. Although mSpy does not consume as much battery as other spy apps it still consumes a few percent batteries even when your phone is not in use. If you notice battery decline without using your phone then it may be due to mSpy.
- The phone may heat a bit. Since the mSpy app is continuously running in the background it may heat up your phone a bit. If you are using a gaming phone that has a great cooling system then you might not feel it but on a regular phone it can be felt.
- Higher data consumption. mSpy needs the internet to transfer all the recorded data from your phone to its server. So it may consume a lot of data if you have lots of photos and videos stored on your device. Set a data limit on your phone so that whenever more data is consumed you can know about it.
- Phone acts weirapp like mSpy on the target phone for testing then starts acting abnormally sod. I have seen that when I install a spy metimes like the screen freezes or the phone lags and due to the keylogger sometimes the typing of a word on phone is delayed.
