The Spyware site offers you to install one, legally.

Why would I install such a thing on my smartphone?

It is not on your smartphone that it is wise to install it. Still, if you want to prove to your spouse that you have nothing to hide … this could be possible. No, where it’s interesting, it’s on your children’s smartphone. Try to ask a teen with whom he is chatting? Why do you spend so much time on this site? Who is this person that you added as a friend on Facebook? Your teen will turn and you will not get any credible answer.

The activities of VOIP Skype, Viber, and WhatsApp applications, browsing the history (even in private browsing), Facebook messenger type conversations, calls and SMS sent/received,… You will know everything.

Identify the presence of predators online

Internet is the # 1 tool for child predators. They develop so-called “friendships” with the children. The best way to protect your child is to watch it.

Protect your child’s personal information

Children unintentionally broadcast their location and personal information more than they should, mainly online. This helps dangerous individuals to find them “in real life”. Keep your children safe from the dangers hidden on the Internet.

Tips for parents

While it may be difficult to raise a child today, there are some basic principles to follow that will make your job as a parent easier:

1 Talk to your children: point out some problems by talking to your child about what you read. Ask your child what he thinks.

2 Let him know that you will always be there: the vast majority of children facing serious problems will not admit it to their parents. Let your children know that you are there for her, for him, no matter why. Even if he is at fault.

In a recent study, 47% of adolescent girls did not admit to their parents’ problems of depression, cyberbullying, drug addiction or even pregnancy.

3 Explain your position on sensitive issues. Explain the values ​​that are important to you and your family.

The mobile phone of our children serves them to stay connected with the rest of their friends. To suppress them is to cut them off from all their relationships. It’s difficult. However, removing them also protects them from the communications they have with bad associates and bad influences.

It is the parents’ responsibility to make sure their child is safe on the Internet.
