What Are Android Keyloggers?

Android keylogger has become a must both for parents and employers nowadays. Pornography, sexting, cyber bullying, online predators among others are the ever growing online threats to children.

Android Keylogger gives you the opportunity to monitor the phone and how it is being used. As an employer, you can make sure that your employees are not sharing confidential company information with anyone especially your competitors. If you’ve experienced being duped by your kids or employees by deleting the phone logs, then worry no more because an android keylogger will address this concern. Thus, any lies or attempts to lie from you can immediately be eliminated.

Employers can now enforce a mobile phone policy to employees. The Android Keylogger can now ensure that employees use the company issued phones in an official manner.

An Android keylogger keeps track of SMS text messages, logs and phone locations via GPS.  It also helps you see how your children or subordinates are using their phones and track their location. And as a spy software for android, it usually operates on silent mode while the user is unaware of its existence.

    See when i access the the info? What programs can be used on both computer & cell phone. Also won’t he be able ro see the downloaded program in my apps?

    • Franklin White

      Hi Lisa. It’s not legal to install a monitoring software on a phone that you don’t own or have authority over. Much more, the phone you would like to monitor is a work phone. Please seek legal advice first before installing anything on your husband’s mobile phone.

  • ajmal

    If I get physical access on any one mobile just for once then can I install these software ?in a hidden mode ? Without the knowledge of the mobile owner ?

    • Franklin White

      These apps used to offer stealth mode but they already removed that because of some policy changes in the U.S. except for FlexiSpy. It is prudent to consult your lawyer about this before installing any monitoring app which I highly recommend that you do so.

    Is there any keylogger which can be install remotly without the knowledge of victim ? Is that illigal ? Even if they are illigal can be installed remotely and would run without the knwledge of the victim ?

    • Franklin White

      hello ajmal. there’s no keylogger for android that can be installed remotely. generally, it is illegal to install monitoring app on a phone that you do not have authority with. and to some states in the U.S., it is a must to inform the owner of the phone that it is being monitored.

      • ajmal

        tnx franklin

  • Jen

    If the GPS of the target phone was turned off or disabled, will the Android key logger you’ve mentioned still log locations?

    • Franklin White

      Hello Jen. Locations are tracked and uploaded into your control panel when GPS signal is available. The monitoring software can only track location when the GPS receiver in the phone can receive a location. If no GPS signal is detected or received, then it won’t be able to log anything. Also, if your service provider charges for GPS services, make sure your phone plans have this feature in order for GPS locations to be captured.

    • Franklin White

      Hello Matt. I would recommend mSpy as it has a separate keylogger feature on the control panel unlike other monitoring app where it is bundled together with the logging features.

  • Lena

    Hi,

    Can this software still can track the location and other activities of the targeted phone if user goes offline? i.e. he/she turn off 3G or wifi or even off the phone? Thanks.

    • Franklin White

      Hi Lena,

      Most android keylogger and mobile monitoring software uses both Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G Internet connections. The monitored device must be connected to the internet to track location and other activities and will use the same connection to send the gathered information to your Control Panel.

  • Michael Miller

    Hi Franklin,

    I’m wondering if I can install the keylogger for android remotely?

    • Franklin White

      Hi Michael,

      Thank you for inquiring and verifying this. This is in fact a critical area that needs to be answered. First off, there’s no way you can install the android monitoring app without physical access to the target phone. But it takes only about 5 to 10 minutes to install depending on how well you’ll be able to follow the installation instructions. If there’s a claim in there that you can remotely install the app without physical access to the phone, you better think twice buying it. Most probably that’s a scam. Secondly, which is more important, it is illegal to install this app that are not technically yours. The apps presented here are not to encourage you to hack on other people’s mobile devices but in protecting your interest may it be on your business or your family.

  • Sarah Jones

    Thank you for this very informative and comprehensive information about keyloggers for Android phone. Are the keylogger apps you detailed here are undetectable?

    • Franklin White

      Hi Sarah,

      Yes, all the Android keyloggers I reviewed here are invisible and undetectable. The target phone will never see the app running and will not see any difference on the mobile operations. I hope this helps!

      • Franklin White

        Hi Sarah. I just want to clear this out. Due to the recent events concerning mobile monitoring apps, most if not all mobile monitoring device now are not hidden on the background and the person who uses the monitored phone must be informed that the phone is being monitored. You must also have proper authority on the phone to legally monitor any mobile device.
