Real-Time Alerts from the Monitored Device

General Questions

• Will my child know that alerts are set up on their phone?

  No, your child won’t be able to tell if you have set up alerts on their phone. The apps that provide instant alerts are designed to work quietly in the background. For instance, tools like XNSPY operate in full stealth mode, meaning there are no visible notifications, pop-ups, or icons on their phone.

• How to set up alerts on my child’s phone without installing the software?

  Without installing software, your only option is to manually access your child’s phone and search through the data for potential issues. This process is time-consuming and lacks focus. Using a monitoring app like XNSPY that scans for specific keywords and sends alerts is much more efficient. This way, you can access their activity remotely and take action before problems arise.

• Can I create a list of multiple contacts to monitor simultaneously?

  Yes, with XNSPY, you can create a watchlist of multiple contacts. You can either manually add contacts by entering their name, phone number, or email address, or select contacts directly from the phone's contact list using the watchlist feature. Once added, all these contacts will be tracked, and you will receive instant alerts if any related activity is detected.

• Can I use the instant alert feature to detect offensive or harmful language in my kid’s communications?

  Yes, with this feature, you can easily look for specific words or phrases in your child’s conversations. If there are particular terms related to issues like bullying, drug abuse, or sexual exploitation that you want to keep an eye on, you can add them to the Watchlist. The app will automatically scan messages for these flagged words and alert you immediately if it detects any.

• Is there a limit to the number of keywords I can flag?

  No, there is no limit to the number of keywords you can flag when using a comprehensive monitoring application like XNSPY. You can add as many keywords as you need, and even edit or remove old ones to avoid unnecessary alerts. However, some other applications may impose restrictions on the number of keywords, so it is important to choose an instant alerts spy app that offers the flexibility you need.

• Are flagged words case-sensitive in alerts?

  No, flagged words are not case-sensitive. Whether the words are written in uppercase, lowercase, or a mix of both, XNSPY will detect them consistently. This feature ensures that you don’t have to worry about typing variations of a word in different cases. The app is designed to promptly alert you whenever the word is detected, regardless of how it is written.

• Can I receive alerts for specific keywords my child uses in messages or searches?

  Yes, with XNSPY, you can get insight into all aspects of your child’s phone activity. This includes receiving alerts not only for keywords they use in messages but also for any searches, social media posts, comments, and other online interactions. If a watchlisted word appears anywhere on their phone, you will be notified immediately.

• Will I still receive alerts if the device is turned off during a SIM card change?

  Yes, you will still receive alerts if your child turns off their phone to change the SIM card. As soon as the phone is powered back on and connects to the internet, XNSPY will detect the new SIM and instantly send you an alert.

• Can I track the new phone number after a SIM card replacement?

  Yes, even if your child replaces their SIM card, you will still receive updates. Since XNSPY works in the background of the smartphone, it doesn’t rely on the phone’s SIM card to function. As a result, you will continue to receive information about calls, messages, and other activities associated with the phone throughout your subscription.

• How do I define the parameters for keyword alerts?

  To define the parameters for keyword alerts, start by identifying the keywords or themes that are most relevant to your concerns. These could include topics like drug abuse, bullying, harassment, or explicit conversations. You can add these words to the watchlist, allowing the app to flag any related activity. If certain issues, like abusive language, are not a priority for you, simply exclude those and focus on the areas that matter most.

• How are notifications for alerts delivered to me?

  Alerts are delivered to the email address you provide during setup. The details included in the notifications vary depending on the type of watchlist that triggered the alert. For example, for flagged words, you will receive an alert with the word used, a timestamp, and the full message content. For contacts on the watchlist, you will get a timestamp, the contact’s name, and the method of communication i.e., whether it is a message, call, etc.
