@Elena G, you’re not wrong. “Spy movie” is a bit much, but the core point is solid: you can’t just magically beam software onto a modern smartphone. That’s an OS security feature, not some app company’s dirty secret.

Here’s the reality for any of these tools:

Physical access is non-negotiable. You need the device in your hands for about 10-15 minutes for the initial setup. That’s it.

This isn’t the app’s fault. Apple and Google built their operating systems to prevent remote installations for security reasons. Any tool claiming otherwise is usually blowing smoke.

The trade-off is clear: A few minutes of hands-on setup in exchange for remote monitoring. After that, the data syncs to a dashboard you can check from your own device.

For parents who decide they need to see the full picture in IG DMs, mSpy is the tool that works within these real-world limits to actually get the job done.
