How to Detect and Stop mSpy from Spying on Your Honor X9a

In this era of smartphones and smart gadgets, our lives have been stored inside these devices. Privacy gets more important and urgent when so many apps can spy on you easily. Being concerned about your privacy is a very important thing to consider. We care about your privacy, and we have the tools to take proper measures for the mSpy parental control app.

There are many apps like mSpy that normal users can’t detect due to their stealth behavior. If you want to know how to detect and stop mSpy from spying on you, then you are in the right place. This article will show you how to detect and remove mSpy on Android and iPhone devices without being tech-savvy. Read all the guidelines below on removing mSpy from Android and iPhone without hassle.

Part 1: What is mSpy, and is mSpy detectable on Your Honor X9a?

In this increasingly cynical world, people are using all sorts of monitoring software to monitor the phone activities of kids and employees. One such software is mSpy. Technically, mSpy is made as a business and parental monitoring app at first. But now, it is also used as a spy app that lets you look into someone else’s mobile phone or device.

Spying should not be misunderstood here as this app focuses mainly on checking employees’ devices or kids’ phones. It could be hard to discover since mSpy secretly works in the background. It monitors messages, phone calls, location, social media activity, and other device usages. Different features offered by mSpy are mSpy parental control, mSpy Instagram tracker, mSpy WhatsApp tracker, etc.

The process of detecting mSpy varies from different phone systems, Android or iPhone. Moreover, mSpy is a background app, so you can not normally see if it is installed on your phone or not. But don’t worry, we will help you out with how to detect mSpy. Below we have listed the two detection methods separately.

How to Detect mSpy on Android Devices

For detecting mSpy on an Android phone, that’ll be more direct if you check Update Service through the phone settings. Follow these steps:

android settings

  • Step 1: Go to your Honor X9a phone settings.
  • Step 2: Select Security.
  • Step 3: Go to Device Administrators or Device Admin apps.
  • Step 4: Navigate to Update Service (the name mSpy uses to run undetected). See if this service is enabled or disabled. If it is, you have spying software installed on your Honor X9as.

How to Detect mSpy on iPhone Devices

Apple users don’t have a way to tell for sure if mSpy is installed compared to Android users. But, there are some ways to tell if their devices are monitored.

1. Download history on the App Store

Certain apps masquerade as unharmful but turn out to be spyware. Recently, the malware was found in an app called System Update. That app was installed outside of App Store. After installation, the app hid and exfiltrated data from the users’ devices to the operators’ servers. It’s important to note which apps every user is hiding in their phone. Go to the App Store and download the history. This will help you figure out which apps have recently been downloaded on your Honor X9a.

2. Unusually High Data Usage

There is a big sign that spyware is running in the background. To check the mobile data on your Honor X9a, you need to go to Settings and click on Mobile Data. You will be to see your overall data usage. Scroll down to know how much mobile data individual apps are using. Suppose any user’s average internet usage is around 200 MB per day, and suddenly it increases rapidly to about 800MB per day with the exact usage of the internet. In that case, the user has to be aware as something is fishy.

3. Have Access to Your Device’s Microphone or Camera

When an app uses the microphone on iPhones, you will see an orange dot at the top of your screen and, similarly, a green dot for the camera. On Android phones, when an app starts, you will see a microphone or camera icon popup in the top right corner, which then turns into a green dot. These are healthy indicators that you should not ignore. Also, go to the list of apps that are allowed to access your Honor X9a’s camera or microphone. If you see mSpy there, that means your phone is being spied on.

4. Increased Device Shut Down Time

If the Honor X9a device fails to turn off properly or takes an unusually long time to do so, it can point to the presence of spyware, or if the phone reboot without your command, then maybe someone is controlling your phone.

5. Jailbreak your own iPhone and download apps from untrusted sources

If you detect the presence of an app named Cydia, then consider it an alarm bell. This advanced package tool will further install apps from untrusted sources. To find out if your Honor X9a is jailbroken or not:

  • Step 1: Drag your finger downward from the center of the iOS home screen.
  • Step 2: Type “Cydia” in the Search field.
  • Step 3: If you find Cydia, then your Honor X9a is jailbroken.

Some signs can come in handy when you want to ensure if someone is spying on you or not

Part 2: How to Stop Somebody Spying Using mSpy on the phone?

When you figure out that somebody is spying on your device, the first thing that comes to your mind is how to stop it. If someone has installed mSpy on your device, you can easily control the process. This section will mention the complete process of stopping mSpy on your device. Like the spying app detection process, the spying app removal process is also different in the case of iPhone and Android devices. Below we have mentioned the complete processes of removing mSpy from your Honor X9a and iPhone device. There are two ways that you can use to remove this app from your devices

Method 1: Prevent mSpy from Spying via Phone Settings App

To remove mSpy from your Honor X9a manually, one needs to activate two-factor authentication and change your iCloud password.

  • Step 1: To change the password, you have to go to Settings.
  • Step 2: Click on Profile.
  • Step 3: Select Password & Security.
  • Step 4: Change password and activate two-factor authentication.

  • Step 1: Go to your Honor X9a Settings.
  • Step 2: Select Security.
  • Step 3: Go to Device Administrators or Device admin apps.
  • Step 4: Navigate to Update Service (the name mSpy uses to run undetected).
  • Step 5: Select Deactivate.
  • Step 6: Go back to Settings.
  • Step 7: Select Apps.
  • Step 8: Uninstall Update Service.

Method 2: Play Protect Feature on Google Play Store [Android only]

Another trick for removing mSpy from your device is by taking help from the Play Protect feature on Google Play Store. But one limitation of this method is that it does not work for iPhone. It is only useful for Android devices.

play protect feature

  • Step 1: You can also go to the Google Play store.
  • Step 2: Select your Profile.
  • Step 3: Select Play Protect.
  • Step 4: If it detects any harmful app, select Uninstall it.
  • Step 5: Or scan the Honor X9a device for any harmful apps.
  • Step 6: It will notify you if any risky app is found.

You can use one more method to remove the mSpy app from your device. This method works for both Android as well as iPhone devices. This method spoofs location to prevent the mSpy app from tracking your location. If you feel that someone is tracking your location, you can use third-party app software that helps fake your location. One such app is Dr.Fone - Virtual Location . It is a full mobile device solution for both Android and iPhone devices. It helps solve a wide range of problems ranging from data loss and system breakdowns to phone transfer and whatnot. Dr.Fone Virtual Location is a great thing that allows you to change and fake your location. It also lets you trick the location-based apps and mock GPS locations with customized speed.

Part 3: How to Tell if Your Cell Phone is Being Tracked FAQ

Q1: Is it possible if someone remotely install surveillance software on My Honor X9a?

Basically, it could be extremely hard to remotely install phone surveillance software on an iPhone or Android smartphone without having physical access to the Honor X9a device in advance. Some remote spying apps will allow you to track the location of an iPhone, but you’d require the user’s iCloud login and password to enable the tracking of the Honor X9a device. Anything more than that, and you’d need physical access.

Q2: Can Someone Spy on You When your Phone is Off?

Sadly yes. According to What Whistleblower Edward Snowden has said in a 2014 interview that the NSA could listen to and spy on conversations using the microphone on a smartphone, even if you turn off your devices. It makes it by using spyware that prevents your smartphone from actually turning off.

Q3: Can Someone Read My WhatsApp Chats on My Cell Phone?

Sadly, yes. While it isn’t possible on iOS devices, apps can intercept your WhatsApp messages on Android devices due to the operating system’s sandboxing security.

Q4: What Other Forms of Spyware Are There?

Other forms of Spyware include keyboard loggers, Adware, browser hijackers, and modem hijackers.

To Wrap it up

In the 21st century, when the world is connected through one device, almost everybody shares an undercurrent of worry. That is, is someone spying on me through my devices or not? And as much risky and fatal as this can be for a person who does not know if he is being tracked or not, there are solutions one can employ to safeguard himself. This article was all about how to detect and how to remove mSpy on iPhone and Android. Hopefully, now you are well aware of the different methods with their steps. With the help of Dr.Fone - Virtual Location , you can easily spoof or fake your location to hide the real one.

How to Fake Snapchat Location without Jailbreak On Honor X9a

Snapchat users are very fond of using custom filters when sharing content on the app. It is a great way to ensure that your images and videos are only viewed by the people that you target. However, a new feature called Geo-filters has brought a lot of mixed feelings amongst Snachatters.

The filter is location-based, which makes any content that you share to be seen by people who are within your geographic fence.

Imagine that you are standing at the Niagara Falls and want to share with people who are in Europe; you will not be able to do this and this is why the filters are problematic to people in the Snapchat community.

Thankfully, there are ways in which you can spoof our device, allowing you to access Geofilters anywhere in the world. Today, you learn several ways in which you can achieve this objective with ease.

Part 1: Benefits that faking Snapchat brings to us

Snapchat comes with a lot of filters, both sponsored and crowdsourced, which you can use to interact with different people. When Geofilters was introduced, it meant that you could only access filters that were designed for specific locations.

Sponsored filters generally tend to target people in certain areas, and this can limit how you disseminate your content on Snapchat.

The main benefit that you get from faking Snapchat is getting access to these filters without even moving an inch.

When you spoof your device, Snapchat thinks that you are actually in the area that you have spoofed to. This virtual location will then allow you to access the filters that are available in that area.

Part 2: A free but complicated way to fake Snapchat location no jailbreak

One of the best ways to fake Snapchat without jailbreak is to use XCode. This is an app on your Honor X9a that allows you to tweak certain aspects of the apps that you have on your device, including Snapchat.

Get XCode on your device and then launch it. Start by using the locations that are found to setup XCode. You can download XCode from Apple App Store. You will need your Apple ID and password to use XCode.

Choose a location from XCode

Here are the steps that you have to follow:

Step 1: Start by creating a basic single-view application

Launch XCode and then create a new project

Create a new project in XCode

Then choose the option marked “Single View iOS application.

Choose the

Now customize the project options and give it any name that you desire.

Name the project as you wish

Now proceed and customize the Organization Name and the Identifier. The identifier works like a reverse domain name so you can use anything you desire.

Proceed and select swift as your preferred language and then click on “iPhone” as your device so the app will be small.

Any other options below this should be left in their default states.

Now go ahead and save the project to a location on your computer. Since the version control does not apply in this case, make sure that you uncheck the option before you save the app.

Save your app

Step 2: transfer and run the created app on your iOS device

People who do not have the latest version of XCode will run into the error shown below.

Error for older XCode versions

IMPORTANT: do NOT click on “Fix Issue” until you do the following tasks:

  • Access the preferences on your XCode
  • Choose the accounts tab
  • Click on the add (+) icon at the bottom left side of your screen
  • Now choose “Add Apple ID”.
  • Type in your Apple ID and password

You should now have an accounts screen similar to the one shown in the image below.

Error solved screen

Now close the window and click on the “team” dropdown menu. You may now select the Apple ID that you just created.

Now you can go ahead and click on the “Fix Issue” button.

Now the error will be resolved and you should have a screen that is similar to the image below.

Correct options in XCode

You may now run the app that you created before on your iOS device.

Use an original USB cable to connect the iOS device to your computer.

Towards the top right-hand corner of your screen, click on the button that is displaying your project name and then click on the iOS device.

Run the app on the iPhone

Now your iOS device will be showing at the top. Select it and proceed.

select your iOS device in the app

Hit the “Play” icon that is found at the top left side of your screen.

Wait for the process to be complete. You might as well get a cup of coffee as this can take quite a while.

Wait for the process to be complete

When the process is complete, XCode will install the app on your iOS device. You will get the following error if your device has not been unlocked; unlocking the iOS device will put off the error message.

XCode error for locked iPhone

Now you should be viewing a blank screen on your iOS device. Do not worry; your device has not been ruined. This is the app that you have just created and installed. Pressing the “Home” button will dismiss the blank screen.

Step 3: It’s time to spoof your location

Go to Google Maps or iOS maps which will now show your current location.

Go to XCode and then choose “Simulate Location” from the “Debug” menu and then select a different location to test.

simulate your new location

If you have done all that you need to do, then the location of your iOS device should instantly jump to the location that you have chosen.

New location on iOS maps and Google Maps

Now you can proceed and see if you have access to Geo-filters in the new location.

Step 4: Spy Geo-Filters on Snapchat

Now you can launch Snapchat and then access the filters in the area that you have teleported to. Remember that you can move from one location to the next on XCode without having to close Snapchat. Just cancel the current snap after changing the location and create a new snap to see the filters in the new location. If this fails to respond, then go back to Google maps or iOS map app and then ensure that you are in the desired location. Once you have done so, close Snapchat and restart it again, and you will be in the new location once more.

Part 3: A paid but easy way to fake Snapchat location without jailbreak

You can also fake your Snapchat GPS location using a premium app such as iTools. This is a popular application, used to spoof many other apps that require geo-location data to work. Another point to note is that the latest iPhone models cannot be jailbroken. The iOS version today is very secure and you cannot tweak it like before.

Thankfully, you can use a premium, not free, iTools to change your virtual location without jailbreaking the Honor X9a device. You can get iTools on a trial basis, but after the period expires, you will have to pay $30.95 to continue using it.

Step 1: Download and install iTools on your computer and then launch it. Connect your iOS device to your computer using the original USB cable that came with the Honor X9a device.

Step 2: Go to the iTools panel and click on “toolbox”.

Select Toolbox in iTools

Step 3: Select the Virtual Location button within the Toolbox Panel

select Virtual Location in Toolbox

Step 4: Type in the location that you want to teleport to and then click on ‘Move Here”.

Select your desired location

Step 5: Now open your Snapchat and you will be able to access the filters found in the location that you typed in.

Once you are finished with this spoofed location, you can simply select “Stop Simulation” in iTools. This is a premium tool, but very simple to use. It is the best tool to use, especially if you are having a device with the latest iOS version.

Part 4: A brief comparison of XCode vs. iTools to fake Snapchat GPS location

From the steps used in both methods, it is very clear that iTools is the best app to use to fake your Snapchat GPS location for several reasons. Here are some of them:

  • Ease of use - Using XCode to fake your Snapchat GPS location is a long and complicated process, whereas using iTools is simple and clean.
  • Price – Although XCode is free while iTools is not, the benefits of using iTools surpass the cost. This makes it less-costly when it comes to performance and convenience.
  • Security – XCode may not be very secure, especially when it comes to avoiding detection by Snapchat. You may have to keep going back to XCode, and changing the location, switching off Snapchat, and restating it again. However, when using iTools, your location is fixed until you stop the simulation.
