I do not believe in snooping or utilizing spyware under any circumstances, be it your children, your employees, or your significant other! Invasion of privacy and an individual's right to have their personal life remain just that, personal, is one of the main civil liberties this county was founded on. I was raised with heavy handed consequences as motivation that if a piece of mail doesn't have my name on it, then it is not for me to open and read.
I still believe in the right to privacy today, and the people commenting here that believe themselves to be justified in their spying might as well go fill out a job application down at the NSA. Notorious for the highly publicized controversy regarding the excessive snooping their office has done through the American public's cell phones.
They attempt to justify their spy games as a necessary part of preventing terrorist activities that could threaten us on our home turf. For anyone that believes that tripe, please hear me now. On a side note, I would like to remind all those affiliated with our national government that the famous novel "" was meant to be read as a fictional story, not a user's manual.

The bottom line is that the truth always comes out in the end. I didn't need spyware to figure out that dip shit boyfriend was cheating, and if you are suspicious your spouse is up to no good, forget wasting time and money to find out the painful details about what your gut instinct is already trying to tell you.
Instead, spend the money on a makeover or vacation with your friends, tell the cheater he better call Tyrone, and move on to better things. For the spying parents out there, it's as simple as this. If you haven't formed a relationship with your kids based on trust, meaning there are boundaries that are always to be respected on both sides, combined with creating an environment where your kids feel safe having an open dialogue with you about their personal lives and coming of age issues.
That entails not being psychotic with rules, overly protective against the dangers of the big bad world that is waiting for them no matter how hard you try to shelter them, and treating them with basic human respect. Trust me, if your teen finds out even once that you snooped through their room or phone, that's it. You will have broken the circle of trust for good, and they are going to start hiding everything from you, and they are better at hiding shit than the worst terrorist groups of our time.
Besides, I was about as horrible a teenager as they come. I was sneaky as heck, a great liar in a pinch, partied constantly, and generally risked my life as often as I could as I fledged the nest. And, most importantly, when I ran into bumps along the way, I felt I could, and I did many many times, call home to mom and dad for advice or help.
I can't say I would have felt the same way about talking to them if they had been spying on me behind my back early on. Trust is an extremely delicate block amongst the other elements that form the foundation of a strong healthy mutually beneficial relationship. Just one crack in the trust block could crumble the whole thing to the ground for good. Honesty is the best policy, albeit cliche sounding, it is an adage as old as the golden rule, and both sayings hold water under any contextual circumstance that calls upon their use.
I can't think of a single phrase, adage, rule, or saying that is used to give merit or justification to spying on another person. I just want to reply to a comment by a Cjones. You can get limited access via spyware that is remotely set up to view things such as sms and call log etc. But this is not something you need to download on the target phone to do. Also Bluetooth and wifi can be turned on without unlocking a phone. Although physical access is required. As long as Siri is active she will turn it on for you. You can post to Facebook or Twitter check the notes add to calendar and make calls or send sms all without unlocking the phone via the passcode.
This is on the current iOS software. Just something to be mindful off. Thanks for the article. We have a serious and legitimate concern for the safety of our teenager someone wanting to contact her with harmful intentions- an actual someone- not a perceived threat. My daughter is not fully aware of the consequences of her actions. We were considering a nanny-type software to use it as a learning tool. We wanted to monitor her activity and then talk to her about anything concerning or dangerous such as giving out personal details to people on activities and whereabouts.
But when I would do my searches, they would always come up with the word "spy" and that was bothering me. That's not what I'm wanting to do. Thank you for the information and clarity on this. I will see if there is something less intrusive we can do to help protect her but still let her have her privacy. Also, when you check through your apps in the way that you showed for Cydia For instance the compass app says "compass" but to the right side of the screen, the word "extra" appears.
Thanks Tim, This people who attempt to rationalize this type of behavior need to take a few steps back and take a good look at themselves What they and all iPhone users should really be worried about is how easy it is for the government to snoop on THEM! As far as I'm concerned, any parent who is spying on their children in this way are engaging in clearly illegal and immoral activity. Imagine when you were growing up Did your parents listen in or record your phone calls? Did they rip open your mail and read it? Or read your diary? How would you have felt?
All these actions are clearly a violation of ones "Right to Privacy".
And this goes for you people doing this to your spouse as well! Anyone who attempts to justify these actions are kidding themselves At last, some sense! Most of the comments I get on this article these days are from the tin foil hat brigade who completely forget about small inconsequential things like the law and upstanding moral behaviour.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the concern that parents and to a lesser extent suspicious partners have, but your inability to rationalise doesn't put you above the law. I didn't know the Right To Privacy was a right children have with their parents. Teenagers can make dumb mistakes and in a world where the government and corporations think it perfectly fine to listen in or track my minor children, I think it's wise that parents do as well.
Not to spy on the kids but to assure they don't do things or provide information to strangers who shouldn't have the information. Teaching our kids that on the internet if it's free then you are the product is important. Am I invading their privacy, Yes, but I love them and I do it to make sure the strangers that track them without my permission don't overreach the uncomfortable boundaries we have all already accepted.
Not justified to me! You shouldn't ever break that trust! If and when your child finds out, it's ALL on you! Wrong on so many levels!!! On the other hand, I'm safety concerned from an ex. He had access to my iphone4s. If I restore, but then load the backup, is there some possibility that if there is a spy program it would still be there as part of the backup-? Same concern if I get a new phone. I have been thinking to purchase one of this spy app to monitor my husband Activities because I feel like my husband is cheating on me.
There is no way I could follow him cause I don't drive and when I check his text messages they all deleted even his email and his voice mail. He always leave home early and sometimes he brings extra formal shirt with him to work. One time I came down to the garage watch him soon as he pulled up and he was deleting his messages but sometimes maybe he forgot to delete his message to his boss , he called her sunshine.
She is actually boss of my husband boss.
How to Detect and Remove Spyware on iPhone？
My husband wanted her to do something and she is very nice to my husband. She gives him a lot of uniform and she gives whatever my husband wants. As what I know she get to the office at 8 am and my husband time is 8: I just need to know what's going on. I am very tired. MJ, I'm in the same boat. I would like to know what spyware can I download on an IPhone so I can catch the devil: Once my iphone started behaving really strange. It became v v slow n was getting stuck. Someone told me to check for spyware. Turns out my partner had jailbroken my phone and installed a spyware. All my msgs chats and call logs were being emailed to him.
So i just restored my phone and upgraded it to the latest ios. Seemed to solve the problem apparently. Yes, you are right, if the spyware was installed on your iPhone and is working, all logs will be restored on your iPhone, it will run more and more slowly. To be honest, it is dangerous to some extent to use iPhone spy software, however, you also can't admit it is useful to help someone who wanna track activities.
I know one iPhone spy app iKeyMonitor- no call interruption, people can see it to log SMS, keystrokes, website history Whatever spy app we use, we should think both the bad and good aspects! Modern technology makes it easy to live in isolation.
Part 2: How to Detect Spyware on iPhone?
If, on the other hand, I chose to live my life on a billboard, I'm far less inclined to make bad choices. It's about my responsibility to my child. And it's about the adolescent brain. For those who don't have teenagers and have forgotten their own teen years , to put it mildly, their brains cease normal function around 12 and do not resume normal function until around 20, if they're lucky. It's not that I don't "trust" their judgment, it's that I know their undeveloped frontal lobe inhibits their capacity for judgment.
They just don't have the ability to fully comprehend or appreciate the consequences of their actions. And the consequences are too great. I know the lengths that I and every other year-old boy went to in order to see the mild porn available in playboy, etc. The nature and accessibility of today's internet porn is a force greater than most any pubescent boy could hope to resist. And with the mounting evidence of long-term, potentially permanent damage of habitual exposure to porn in adolescence is alarming.
It would be no less irresponsible of me as a parent to allow my children unfettered access to the internet than it would be to allow them I unrestricted, un-monitored access to a meth house. On the other hand, I tell my children when they are being monitored.
