7. MSniffer
MSinffer is a phone tracker app that was built with the goal of finding the location of any cell phone by dialing its number. The app was created as a means of tracking down lost or stolen phones, but it can also be used to find the location of someone else. The app uses a GPS system that can intercept calls and find locations by pinging the signal of the target device. This allows the trackers to find the precise location of their target phone and the app will even use its map to give you the shortest route to get to it. This process works due to an exploit that each and every satellite device contains within its source code. All that was needed is an app that can imitate the functionality of a satellite GPS system and operate on the exact same frequency. It’s a similar process to scanning through various frequencies until you find a radio station you like. Connecting a specific station requires that you get the right frequency first. The only difference is the fact that satellite signals aren’t as easily accessed as that of radios.

9. PhoneSpector
PhoneSpector is an app that people have been using to reach deeper crevices of data that other spy programs aren’t able to monitor. Most spy apps are restricted to seeing the information and data that is passing through the phone in real time. That means the app would be able to monitor any incoming messages as they’re received and then send out a copy of the messages to the person running the app. PhoneSpector can achieve the same results but takes it a step further by being able to copy any old or deleted texts too. The app creates a local copy of the text before the user deletes it to ensure that you’ll always be able to access the information even if your mark deletes the texts. This is great since many people who are paranoid about surveillance tend to delete their texts after them, but now that measure becomes moot due to the fact that PhoneSpector backs all the messages up locally. Another great selling point for PhoneSpector is the fact that it’s really easy to use, even for beginners. Once you’ve downloaded the app it will set itself up. All you have to do is tap a few times and test it out.
