Cell Phone Monitoring Software: Check your child’s mobile phone activity

Mobile Phone Monitoring software/apps are available that lets parents monitor the cell phone activity of their children.

Need for Monitoring Software

Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, children are now dependent on mobile phones and laptops for their online classes. Kids aged 4-5 and above are also playing a lot of games on mobile phones.

And surprisingly, kids know how to install apps (gaming apps)   on mobile phones.

Mobile phones nowadays are like a computer, and gives you access to several applications including the ability to connect to the Internet. You can play games, download apps, surf the net, check emails, take pictures, and do much more using a mobile phone.

Teenagers, in particular, love these mobile devices because they give them instant communication with peers and privacy from their parents. These handheld mobile devices also allow them to communicate with anyone in the world through text messages and phone calls.

A cell-phone monitoring software can help you track the activities of your children on the cell-phone.

Easy to Track

Not sure of the activities of your teenage children, or your employees? A cell phone monitoring software program can come in handy.

It is a pretty much reliable way to track the whereabouts of your children – whether they are actually at a friend’s house or in the college.

You can even track one your employees to check if they are really home sick, or at the site they were supposed to visit.

After installing mobile monitoring software, you can view all cell phone activity from an online account.

Even if your children or employees delete data from their cell phones, it will still appear on your account, so you will be aware of all activity, even if they attempt to hide something from you.

Inform the Users

Though this software runs in a stealth mode, and the end-users may not even realize that it is placed on their phone, it is a good idea to inform them.

I would personally tell my teenager child if I have placed this type of application on their cell phones, as an added measure of safety and protection, and also not to breach their trust.

As far as tracking employees is concerned, in most countries this software is legal to use on employees’ phones, only if the company provides the cellular devices and employees are well aware that monitoring software is being used.

So be aware of that!

Here’s a video that shows a software that hides on cell phones and captures call logs and text messages.

Phone addiction: We can’t stay away from smartphones even for a minute (study)

There’s no doubt that smartphones are useful gadgets, but then there are many who also feel that people are getting addicted to these gadgets, and they can hardly stay away from their phones.

Now a study reveals that people cannot stay away from their smartphones even for a minute – 44 seconds to be precise (average).

Surprisingly men averaged only 21 seconds before reaching for their devices, whereas for women it was 57 seconds (the general perception is that women spend more time on their phones).

The study conducted by researches from Germany & UK (Wurzburg and Nottingham-Trent) asked the participants to stay in a room for 10 minutes. During the 10-minute waiting session, participants used their smartphone on average for almost half the time (five minutes), researchers said.

Here were some more observations of the researches:

• Many use their phones because they are afraid of missing out on something (fear of missing out – FOMO)
• The more we use our phones, the more stressed we become.
• People are far more attached to these devices than they realize.
