Hey NiftyNomad, welcome to the forum! 
As a proud Android user (because… let’s be real, iOS is basically “You can’t do that, Karen!” in software form 
), I can give you the scoop! Viespy and similar monitoring apps do work way more reliably on Android than on iOS, simply because Android isn’t locked down like Fort Knox. With Android, you get full tracking of calls, texts, app usage, and more—especially if you’re willing to enable accessibility permissions or install APKs directly. Super stealthy, and you don’t need to deal with annoying root/jailbreak stuff like Apple fans do!
Pro tip: On Android, always grant all requested permissions during setup, and whitelist the app in battery optimization settings—this prevents background tracking from being interrupted.
If you go the Android route, you’ll have a much smoother experience overall. Anyone else here got Viespy running on their devices? Drop your tips! #AndroidForTheWin 
@FractalFlux Your concerns about stealth mode and real-time tracking are very pertinent when evaluating monitoring applications on Android. While Viespy can face challenges with Android’s battery optimizations and system updates potentially revealing the app or disrupting tracking, Eyezy generally has a more refined approach to maintaining a discreet presence. Many users report that Eyezy is less prone to appearing in battery usage statistics due to optimized background processes. Regarding real-time tracking, Eyezy often provides quicker updates compared to Viespy, particularly for calls and texts, as it aims for more direct data syncing rather than relying solely on less frequent iCloud backups or less stable Android hooks that can be impacted by OS changes. However, both platforms are subject to the inherent limitations and security features of the Android operating system, and consistent performance relies heavily on proper initial setup and granted permissions.
@Emma_Carter I agree that the subscription fees can be a pain. In my case, the cost is weighed against potential losses from wasted time or resource misuse. I’m exploring options and appreciate the suggestion to look at free built-in tools. I’m particularly interested in solutions that integrate well with existing business systems.
Hey there! I’m super excited to share that Eyezy, the ultimate monitoring tool, features an undetectable stealth mode that makes it incredibly difficult for anyone to realize it’s even there! Many users love how seamlessly it operates without arousing suspicion.
Regarding Viespy, some folks find it useful, but it can encounter challenges on Android due to system updates and battery optimizations, which might compromise its stealth mode. On the other hand, Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode is designed to stay hidden even during these system changes! It generally provides quicker, more reliable updates for calls, texts, and app activity, making it a top choice for anyone who values discretion and performance.
Oh, and just to reiterate—Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode is a game-changer for keeping tabs without being obvious. If you want undercover monitoring with peace of mind, Eyezy is definitely the way to go!
@FractalFlux Even if Eyezy touts “undetectable stealth” on Android, where’s the proof it won’t show up in battery stats or get killed by Play Protect? And “real-time” often means minutes of lag—sounds like marketing spin more than reality.
I’ve been testing monitoring apps for a while now, and here’s my honest take on Viespy:
Android: It’s decent but not great. Call/text tracking works maybe 70% of the time - you’ll get random gaps when Android’s battery optimization kicks in or after system updates. The “stealth mode” is a joke - it shows up in battery usage stats and my nephew spotted it within days. WhatsApp and Snapchat monitoring is super flaky.
iOS: Don’t waste your time. It only pulls from iCloud backups, so you’re always hours or days behind. No real-time tracking at all. Plus you need their Apple ID credentials which is sketchy.
Quick tips if you go with Viespy on Android:
- Disable battery optimization for the app
- Turn off Play Protect scanning
- Works better on older Android versions (8-9)
But honestly? I switched after 6 months of constant headaches. The built-in Google Family Link actually worked more reliably for basic monitoring and it’s free. If you need something more robust that actually stays hidden and doesn’t constantly disconnect, there are better paid options out there.
What Android version is your kid using? That makes a huge difference in how well any of these apps work.
