How to spy on conversations on WhatsApp: the 3 most effective apps
There are several strategies for spying on WhatsApp conversations. In a recent post we analyzed the Mac Spoofing technique, useful for acting directly from a mobile phone. Today let’s see what are the best apps that allow you to monitor what other people are doing on WhatsApp. These are applications that allow you to read another user’s WhatsApp messages, to see their photos and videos, to know when they connect, where they are and to know many other “secrets” of their digital activity.
In this post you will learn how to spy on WhatsApp with specific apps and how to defend yourself.
These apps to spy on WhatsApp conversations are used on several occasions. There are managers who want to control how their employees behave in the company. There are mothers who want to keep an eye on their children to protect them and make sure they are safe. And there are wives and husbands intent on discovering any betrayal by their partner. Because, as we have discussed in detail in this post, betrayals are increasingly finding fertile ground on WhatsApp to grow and “hide”.
Before using these applications, it is good to read up on how they work and what happens on the target mobile device when we use them. So be sure to carefully read the various instructions of any spy software you use and read the reviews of the various users that you can find on the net. Do not forget that there are online companies that misinform customers with the aim of obtaining greater profits. On this page, unlike them, you will only find genuine information.
To establish mutually beneficial cooperation we ask that you report any suspicious programs to us (with comment below, or via email). Your answers will be very useful, allowing us to discover any scammers of any kind.

WhatsApp: 3 apps to spy on conversations (+ bonus 2020)
Having overcome the premises, let’s see in detail the three best applications to spy on another user’s WhatsApp conversations.
# 1. MSpy
Mspy is probably the best there is. It is among the most used, most powerful and useful programs for monitoring mobile phone apps.
Designed to monitor children, employees or loved ones, Mspy is one of the most advanced software for interception of messages, including WhatsApp, as well as for tracking phone calls.
It is compatible with Android, iOS, Windows and Mac OS computers. In addition, the no-jailbreak spy option for iPhone is very interesting and is in great demand by many users.
Alternatively, the software allows remote installation via iCloud. It is in Italian and is the easiest to use, even for non-experts.
#2. Flexyspy
Flexyspy is intelligent software that installs on a phone to monitor whatever is being done with that device. After installation, the program secretly records any action, including text messages, calls, contacts, locations, e-mails, messages, chats, Facebook Skype and, of course, WhatsApp. Flexyspy boasts more than 150 different features.
3 #. Spyrix
Spyrix Monitor Personal is a powerful multifunctional program for remote monitoring of user activity. The interface and features are intended for more professional use. It is possible to monitor the keyboard (keylogger), activity on social networks (Facebook, MySpace, etc.), web-surfing, Skype, IM Messengers (ICQ, MSN, etc.) and WhatsApp. (In English)
Bonus 2020: Spy on a cellphone for free via WhatsApp Web (but watch out)
Let’s see another alternative to spy on WhatsApp for free.
But let’s face it: unlike the apps you see above which are “invisible”, with this method it’s easy to know if someone is spying on your phone.
The idea is simple: use the QR code to access WhatsApp Web from another mobile phone.
To do this, just:
download the Whatsscan application for iPhone or Android
pick up the phone you want to spy on and go to Settings
click on WhatsApp Web
scan the qr code from the Whatsscan app
This way you will have access to all WhatsApp messages, photos and videos as long as your phone is connected to the Internet.
How can you find out if someone is spying on you using this method?
Simple. Access the WhatsApp settings and in the WhatsApp Web entry you see what active connections there are. If it’s not you, you’ve made your discovery.
Also, if someone sends a message from your WhatsApp while they are spying on you, it will appear on your mobile.

Some details on WhatsApp spying
Just like cell phones, mobile monitoring is a new technology. It was invented two decades ago and has been growing in popularity ever since. One question, however, seems to have not yet found a definitive answer: are spying applications really useful?
The answer probably lies in the fact that a lot of managers are using cell phone monitoring software in all company-owned smartphones to monitor employees, and not just – of course – for WhatsApp. As you can imagine, people love to use mobile devices to play games, send e-mails to friends, surf the Internet and thus “get distracted” during work hours, or worse, spread company information to competitors. But a manager who uses these programs can notice everything and, probably, even just knowing that the spy software is installed, would prevent any “out of line” behavior.
How do you use apps to spy on WhatsApp conversations?
Cell phone spying apps work on almost all major mobile platforms (iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile). But don’t forget, we are not in a spy movie!
Once installed correctly, spying applications capture data from your smartphone (or tablet) and send them to a secure web portal. You can check your account at any time from any Internet-enabled device. The person being monitored will not know anything about what is happening as cell phones work in stealth mode and people are unable to detect them.
How can we defend ourselves?
There are good rules to follow to prevent prying eyes from snooping on our mobile. The first is the most obvious: never leave your phone unattended. Anyone with a minimum of experience can install a spy app in less than 5 minutes. And don’t forget that the most dangerous people are the ones you know and trust! Furthermore, it is good to password protect your phone and lock it, and avoid jailbreaking or other unofficial modifications.
