We were recently contacted by Patrick Cain, who is an online journalist. He works at the Investigative Desk at globalnews.ca.
Patrick contacted us regarding an FTC article regarding stalking apps, and we were happy to let him have our comments. Our position has always been that FlexiSPY should be used within the bounds of the law, whatever that may be for the customer. We would like to share with you our reply, and would encourage any of our customers to leave a genuine comment explaining your point of view on this subject. Here is a link to his article
Here is our entire reply:
Hi Patrick,
Thank you for your email. Before we go further, I think the following comment on the FTC link you sent, is extremely profound, particularly for journalists who feel they are serving the public’s interest.
“I’m not concerned with being stalked by an ex, rather I’m concerned with being “stalked” by the US government. What is the FTC doing to get the NSA, FBI, and etc to stop spying on the American people?”
Now to your questions.
The quotes from our website that you mention are out of date, and we have removed them.
Please understand, the site is a decade old with hundreds of pages, many of them written in a time where this was not such a sensitive issue. Many things fall between the cracks. This was one of them. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we will update all the pages where these errors are still in place.
You are rightly concerned about the visibility of the application, so your readers should note that we have always had the option to be 100% visible to the end user, and this setting can be changed at any time. We have updated our text to make clear that the customer has this option where local laws require this.
The reason for the visibility option is that for many Parents, Employers and Law Enforcement use cases, its entirely legitimate to have the application behave like any other background application such as photo uploads, download of news feeds and so on.
For example, if your 13 year old child is knowingly engaging in dangerous behaviour, or your employee is stealing files, how will you ever protect them or your business if they find a way around the monitoring?
You ask why we do not allow anti-virus products to detect us.
The answer is obvious. We are not a virus, nor a trojan, nor malware, therefore we do not believe that we have to justify our place on device any more than a backup program that is purchased and installed by the user of the device.
The final question on statistics is commercially confidential, but we can indicate that parents and employers make up the majority of our users.
Finally, we fully support the mission of the FTC, which is to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and by this measure, we can assure you that our products have no interest for the FTC.
With the release of Android 6.0.1, many FlexiSPY customers have been wondering about compatibility with the devices they wanted to monitor.
So today we couldn’t be happier to announce that FlexiSPY for Android has been fully tested and confirmed as being compatible with 6.0.1.
This is great news for you, because 6.0.1 is the very latest version of Android, and next version, 7.0, is not due to come out for most phones until August 22, 2016. In simple terms, this means that no matter what Android version your target phone is running on, you will be able to use FlexiSPY on it.
We have updated our binary, so all you have to do now is follow the normal FlexiSPY Android installation instructions (which are located in your dashboard) and then install FlexiSPY on it.
Have you ever wished that you could have FlexiSPY on your PC or MAC?
Have you ever wanted to track your child’s activity across all their devices?

Today, all kinds of electronic devices — and especially smartphones — have become the most important way that children and teenagers stay connected to one another.
According to the Pew Research Center, 92 percent of American teens go online daily, and 24 percent are online almost constantly. Most of this occurs through their smartphones, a device that 88 percent of teens own or have access to.
Parents, worried about the threat of violence and possible sexual predators outside their homes, think their children are safe when in their rooms. Unfortunately, many of these parents have no idea what their children are doing online and are unaware of the equally large, or even larger, threat that online predators pose to their kids.
While the internet has made our world smaller in many good ways, it has also increased the ability of predators to find and seduce their victims. They do this most successfully through a process known as “grooming,” where predators engage in a number of actions to befriend vulnerable victims in order to sexually abuse and exploit them. Although online predators do most of their grooming virtually, they eventually have to meet their victims in the offline real world to reach their goal: sex with the minor. At this point, their victims are usually eager to meet the person they’ve developed a friendship with online and completely trust that their friend is the person who he says he is. He seldom is.
Mind the Gender Gap
When people think about sexual abuse victims, they typically picture girls. In a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Justice, one in six women were found to be the victim of rape or attempted rape; the statistic for men was one in 33. This number may be accurate, or it may just reflect the fact that sexual assaults on women are reported more often than sexual assaults on men.
When it comes to grooming, boys are targeted just as often as girls, but because of stereotypes, parents don’t monitor their sons nearly as much as they do their daughters. Many behaviors are simply written off as “boys being boys” instead of the warning signs that they really are.
Because boys are thought of in terms of “manly” traits, it is assumed that people can’t make them do anything they don’t want to do. But through empathy, coercion, and shame, sexual predators can not only make them do what they want but also keep them from telling anybody about it. Their masculinity is used against them: Boys are taught that expressing their feelings is womanly, and they don’t want to be accused of being gay.
When they drink, take drugs, skip school and get new things like cellphones — all due to the groomer — the boys would rather have their parents, counselors and other adults in their lives attribute it to bad behavior than to the fact they’re being sexually exploited. As stated in “Same Risk, Different Gender,” a video by The Blast Project, “Boys and young men often prefer the bravado of youth offending rather than admit to being a victim of grooming and sexual exploitation.”
A Worst-Case Scenario: The Breck Bednar Case
A gruesome example of this occurred in the Breck Bednar murder case in Surrey, England, in 2014. Breck was a 14-year-old computer aficionado who spent hours gaming online. He fell prey to a man named Daynes, who represented himself as a 17-year-old high school dropout and computer engineer running a multimillion-dollar company. As the friendship deepened, and Breck became more secretive, his mother, Lorin Lefave, became suspicious.
She asked other teachers and parents their opinion on the relationship, and they didn’t see anything wrong with it. Then, she and her ex-husband offered to take Breck to meet Daynes in person, but Daynes said he was too busy. Finally, Lefave called the police, who didn’t seem to understand the enormity of the situation. She even provided them with Daynes’ full name and the county where he lived, but they never acted on the information.
When Lefave took away her son’s computer and phone, Daynes secretly sent Breck a new phone. Daynes then convinced Breck that he was dying and wanted to hand his computer company over to Breck, a dream come true for the computer buff. Lying to both his parents about where he was going, Breck got into a taxi paid for by Daynes and went to Daynes’ apartment. Sometime that night, Daynes murdered Breck and then texted images of his body to other boys in their gaming group. He is currently serving a life sentence in prison after pleading guilty to murder with sexual and sadistic motivation.
Warning Signs vs. Gender Assumptions
Lefave set up the Breck Foundation to bring Internet safety awareness to schools, police, and parents. Although she recognized the signs and sought to save her son from his predator, she was unable to convince authorities that something suspicious was going on until it was too late. As she told the Guardian, “Boys may report this less, but I want everyone to understand that they can be groomed and hurt… by people who are not who, they say they are online.”
The Breck Foundation and other organizations like The Blast Project are trying to teach authorities and professionals to base their opinions on the warning signs and not on gender assumptions. Boys WILL be boys, but they will also become the victims of sexual exploitation if they’re not careful. Parents should be vigilant with their children, regardless of their gender, and know what they’re doing online and on their phones. Look for indicators that your child may be involved in something suspicious, and keep tabs on their activity by using a phone monitoring software. Do everything you can to keep your child safe from predators.
The FlexiSPY portal is showing its age a little, and while its functional, it surely needs some love – It’s time for a redesign.
That’s why we are looking for Designers and Contributors to help us create a set of possible new designs.
In return, we are giving away Amazon vouchers, not only to designers, but to those of you love our product and have ideas for improvements.
We need the following:

Not quite sure how to setup and use our Android Call Recording feature? Or maybe you HAVE set it up and even recorded a call, but when you listened to the recording something just didn’t sound right..
If we’ve hit the mark, then you’ll be glad to know that in this post we’ll show you how to maximize the chances of getting a perfect recording every time.
(If you are interested in iPhone Call Recording, we cover it in another post)
So let’s begin!
Finding The Best Android Call Recording Source
To better understand why call recordings aren’t always clear, you should understand how our Call Recording feature works.. Basically, when FlexiSPY first activates it tries to automatically find the best call recording method, and it has several sources to choose from.
Usually the microphone source works best, and it may choose that. But – there may be a better recording source for your device.
Better Results Through Manual Settings
FlexiSPY sometimes can’t automatically find the best audio source. The reason is complicated, but the short version is that there are so many variations of android devices, all running on different networks, that FlexiSPY sometimes gets it wrong.
You’ll know that this happened if:
Only one side of the conversation gets recorded.
You can only hear static
The recorded voices sound distant
Fortunately, this is where manually setting the audio source can help. Through the manual settings you can test which source works best for the device that FlexiSPY is installed on.
Here’s how to manually set the audio source:
1. Log into your online portal.
2. Click Control Center.
3. Click Call Controls.
4. Click Set Audio Recording Source.
All the possible call recording sources will then appear.
Here’s a breakdown of the sources:
Microphone
This is the call recording source that FlexiSPY uses by default.
(Samsung devices work well on this setting)
Voice Call
This source uses both directions (known as uplink and downlink) to increase the chances of recording both sides of a call. It may not work with all devices though – if it fails it will result in the recording of only one side of the call.
AOSP
This is a proprietary recording source for all devices.
(non-rooted Motorola and Huawei Android devices should choose this source for best results.)
Legacy
This is the oldest and most stable form of call recording. But on newer Android devices both sides may not be recorded.
(If all other call recording sources produce unsatisfactory results, then use this.)
ALSA
This source is for rooted Android devices only.
So if you’re unhappy with Call Recording and the device is unrooted you’ll want to:
Deactivate & Uninstall FlexiSPY from the device
Root the device
Reinstall & Reactivate FlexiSPY
Set ALSA as the Call Recording source
Conclusion
There’s no universal Call Recording source that works for every Android device. But if you try all the sources we mentioned in this article, there’s a good chance that your recordings work just fine!
