The Most Powerful Geofencing App

General Questions

• How does geofencing work?

  Geofencing works by creating virtual boundaries around a physical location. To create these boundaries, users have to specify addresses, geofence ranges, and when to get alerts on their geofencing application. Once it’s added, users receive alerts when their target device enters or leaves a specified area. These alerts can help protect children from unsafe zones or ensure their timely arrival to particular places.

• Can I set up multiple geofences for different locations?

  Yes, with XNSPY, you can set up multiple geofences for different locations. Unlike other geofencing applications, XNSPY allows its users to add an unlimited amount of geofences to its Watchlist location. All they need to do is add a new location with its address, geofence range, and time of alert. Moreover, users can edit or delete their previous geofences to ensure only necessary alerts.

• How can I get geofence alerts without the user knowing?

  Tracking geofence activities without informing the phone’s user is possible. To do so, you have to first subscribe to a monitoring app that offers geofencing and works in stealth mode. Using such an app is important because it ensures discreet geofencing updates without alerting the phone owner. Once subscribed, you can easily add geofences to your app’s dashboard and receive alerts.

• Does the geofence app notify the target device when a geofence is created?

  Some subpar geofence apps notify the target device when a geofence is created, which can alert the user to the tracking activity. However, a high-quality geofencing app prioritizes discretion and doesn’t notify the target device. This ensures that the tracking remains confidential. With advanced apps like XNSPY, you can set up and manage geofences without the target knowing, providing a seamless and private monitoring experience.

• Can I set up geofences without physically accessing the phone?

  Yes, you can set up geofences without having the phone, but you will need to access it once to install the app. This is true even if you are using the best geofencing app on the market. After that, you can manage and monitor geofences remotely through your own device or dashboard. This makes it easy to track locations without needing to touch the target phone again.

• Will the phone’s user be able to detect that geofencing is active?

  If stealth mode is activated for an app, there is no way for the phone’s user to know that geofencing is active. Nevertheless, you have to use the right app to remain discreet. If a device does not offer stealth mode and 100% invisibility, the user can easily detect geofencing activities.

• Can geofencing be used to check real-time location?

  Geofencing is different from GPS location so using geofencing activities you cannot thoroughly check someone’s real-time location. Geofencing activities can only provide alerts for a predefined area and a vague idea of their overall location at best. Nonetheless, it does not mean it is not possible. Apps like XNSPY offer both geofencing and GPS location which means you are not only getting alerts but real-time updates about a phone’s location.

• What happens if the phone’s GPS is disabled?

  Regardless of the geofencing software you use, you won’t be able to track the phone’s location accurately if the phone’s GPS is disabled. Without GPS, the app can’t send real-time alerts or monitor movements within the geofence. However, some apps may still use Wi-Fi or cellular data for location tracking, but it is not as precise as GPS. To ensure proper tracking, the GPS needs to be enabled.

• Does geofencing work without an active internet connection?

  Geofencing requires an active internet connection to send real-time alerts and update locations. While some apps may rely on the phone's GPS to determine location even without the internet, the alerts and tracking features may be delayed or unavailable until the phone reconnects to the internet. Without an active connection, the geofence can still track the phone’s movement, but it won’t send updates until the device is back online.

• What types of notifications can I receive when a geofence is breached?

  When a geofence is breached, you typically receive notifications such as real-time alerts when the target device enters or exits a predefined area. These notifications can be sent via push notifications, email, or SMS, depending on the app’s settings. With XNSPY, you will receive instant updates on your dashboard or through the app when a geofence is triggered, allowing you to track movements as they happen. You can also customize the alert types and frequency to suit your preferences for better monitoring.
