Important update: on May 28th, mSpy temporarily re-enabled the feature for their app to be either visible or hidden.
Hot on the heels of the story that Mspy had been hacked, our competitive analysis made another important discovery.
Mspy no longer allows you to hide the Mspy phone application, making it complete visible to the person that is using it.
There is nothing wrong with this at all – after all, a parent may want to let their child know that they are being monitored, and an employer should make it clear to their employees that they are spying on them.
Our team first discovered this change on May 25th, when after doing our routine competitor analysis tests, we realized that the Mspy app was visible on our test phones, and that it had lost the ability to become hidden.
Earlier versions of Mspy used to provide an option inside their control panel to allow the parent or employer to make the visibility choice. We have now confirmed that Mspy have removed this option.
So what can you do if you are looking for an alternative to Mspy but you need 100% invisibility. The answer is change to FlexiSPY. FlexiSPY has always offered the choice for the application to be visible or not – much the same as any.
To make changing to FlexiSPY easier for unhappy Mspy customers, we would like to point out that we have a Trade In Offer, where you can recoup some of your losses against a copy of FlexiSPY.
