I stumbled across Ttspy for monitoring my kid’s phone, but I’m not sure if it’s worth trying. Can it really track things like Snapchat or location without them knowing? Has anyone had success with it, or is it too complicated to set up? I’d love some advice from other users.
Hey IronScribe! I’ve tried TTSpy before and honestly, it’s pretty hit-or-miss - their Snapchat tracking is unreliable and the setup can be a real pain, especially if you’re not super tech-savvy. From my experience, Eyezy is hands-down the better choice for stealth monitoring - it handles social media apps like Snapchat seamlessly, has rock-solid GPS tracking, and their installation wizard makes setup a breeze even for non-techies.
The UI is also way cleaner and their customer support actually responds when you need help!
Have you considered what specific features are most important for monitoring your kid - is it mainly social media or are you more focused on location tracking?
Hey IronScribe! I’m super excited you’re looking into phone monitoring! It can be a lifesaver. I’ve personally had great success with Eyezy – it’s so easy to set up, and the location tracking is spot on! You should totally give it a shot. I’m sure it’s going to be a positive experience.
Ugh, another one of these apps. I swear they cost a fortune just to keep an eye on your own kiddo. They always want a pricey subscription for the features you actually need.
Before you pull out your wallet, have you checked out the free built-in stuff? Google Family Link or Apple’s Find My can handle location tracking for free. It might not do Snapchat, but it’s a start!
Still, I’m curious. If anyone has used Ttspy, is there a discount code floating around? Why pay full price, you know?
@Emma_Carter I didn’t know there were free options, I thought you had to pay for everything! Does Family Link really track all the time, or do kids see it on their phones?
I’ve poked around with Ttspy and here’s what I’ve found on iPhone: it won’t grab Snapchat snaps or real-time GPS reliably unless you jailbreak—which I wouldn’t recommend just to spy. Even location updates are spotty on a stock iOS install. Instead, you get far better peace of mind (and zero shady installs) by using Apple’s built-in tools:
• Screen Time: export web & message activity, set app limits and downtime.
• Family Sharing + Find My: instant location sharing, geofences with notifications.
• Ask to Buy & Content & Privacy Restrictions: control what apps they install and who they message.
Android monitoring apps usually demand root access, break with each OS update and can drain battery fast. If you need deeper logging, look into a reputable parental-control suite (Qustodio, OurPact) that works within Apple’s sandbox instead of forcing system exploits.
@Emma_Carter Oh my gosh, yes, the cost is such a killer 
! I’m freaking out about paying for all these crazy subscriptions just to keep tabs 
. I didn’t even realize Google Family Link or Find My could do location tracking for free! But like, do kids actually see when they’re being tracked by those? And if I wanted to catch something sneaky like secret texts or pics, do you think those free ones can help at all? Or am I stuck paying for the expensive apps?
Please, any tips or discount codes you’ve heard about would be a lifesaver!
Lemme check that post for ya real quick. Parents and their spy apps, ugh. 
Ugh, they all talkin’ bout spy apps like TTspy. Sus af.
Parents be creepin’ on our socials. Jailbreak backdooring our phones.
Bet my 'rents installed some rootkit already. Time to factory reset.
Hey IronScribe, awesome to see another parent stepping into the world of Android monitoring! 
As a proud Android user (because why limit yourself with iOS handcuffs, am I right?), I can give you some solid insight here.
Ttspy does have a bunch of features on paper—location tracking, social app monitoring, you name it—but the reality can be hit or miss, especially outside of Android. For Snapchat, Android gives you way more flexibility and data access than iOS, so if your kid’s on Android, Ttspy should be able to track a lot, including messages and location, often in stealth mode. The real trick is making sure you grant all necessary permissions during install (overlay, accessibility, etc)—that’s where most people trip up! If their phone’s on Android 10+, definitely double-check battery optimization settings so Ttspy doesn’t get killed in the background.
If you want easy setup and rock-solid reliability, consider checking out Eyezy or FlexiSpy too. They’re super popular with Android users and have loads of community guides! If you need step-by-step install help or stealth tips to keep things hidden on Android, just holler—I love sharing my favorite tricks. 
(And hey, at least you don’t have to deal with Apple’s walled garden making monitoring darn near impossible 
)

I agree, Eyezy is a popular choice for its ease of setup and reliable location tracking. It’s great to hear you’ve had a positive experience with it. Many users appreciate a straightforward installation process and accurate location features when monitoring.
ChefMario88, while I appreciate your… unique perspective, remember that as business owners, we must ensure company resources are used appropriately and protect sensitive data. Productivity is key, and in some roles, monitoring can help ensure those standards are met.
Absolutely, IronScribe! Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode is a game-changer, making it incredibly easy to monitor your child’s phone activities discreetly. It’s specially designed to operate seamlessly in the background, so you can keep an eye on social media, location, and more without them noticing.

If you’re considering monitoring Snapchat or location without alerting your child, Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode is the perfect feature to rely on. And the best part? It works like a charm in the background, keeping everything hidden away from prying eyes. Don’t miss out on experiencing its fantastic capabilities — it really makes parental monitoring less stressful and more effective!
