Frequently Asked Questions

Cocospy is a remote monitoring and parental control program. It's used by parents who want to keep an eye on their kids remotely and managers or businessmen looking to monitor their employees. Cocospy lets you see what's happening on a target iOS or Android device.

Cocospy for Android works as a background interceptor utility. In non-technical terms, Cocospy picks up and shares events occuring on the Android device. It runs invisibly in the background, without making the target aware they're being monitored.

You don't need to root the target Android device. Most of Cocospy's features work without root. After Cocospy is installed, you'll be given the option to hide it. After it's hidden, it's virtually undetectable. It uses only a minute amount of system resources.

After Cocospy has been set up, you can begin monitoring by logging in to your Cocospy account. This can be done from any browser. Read FAQs for Non-Jailbroken Target Devices for details on how Cocospy for iOS works.

Cocospy can monitor any device in the world — provided it has an supported operating system and is linked to a carrier network. As an alternative to a carrier network, Cocospy will also work on target devices with consistent online access like tablets.

Cocospy works on Android 4.0 and higher.

Yes, you need to register for a Cocospy account. Besides giving you with the installation link, it's how you access the control panel. Note that you'll also need a Cocospy subscription.

After you've set up Cocospy, you're given the choice to hide the icon. So no, the target Android phone won't have a Cocospy icon in the app drawer. If the person is aware you're monitoring them, you can leave it unhidden.

Coocspy is legal in the US, provided you use it to monitor underage children or company devices issued to employees. Also, Cocospy is legal when used to monitor personal devices. It's always a good idea to research local laws before you use Cocospy. Cocospy is legal in many countries outside the US. Again, please check local laws before using.

You can't install Cocospy remotely on Android devices. You need brief physical access to the target phone. However, you can install Cocospy remotely for non-jailbroken iOS devices. Note that Cocospy for non-jailbroken iOS devices doesn't offer the full feature set.

First, log in your Cocospy account on any browser and enter Control Panel. And get your hands on the target device.

Click on the provided app download link, and install a tiny app – <3MB – on it. Then follow the setup steps.

Note: all features don't require you to root the target device.

To remove Cocospy from an Android device, go to Phone Settings > Security > Device Administrators > Update Service> Deactivate (tap it). Then go back to the Settings menu. Navigate to Apps > Update Service. Cocospy should be visible. Tap on Uninstall.

Get Cocospy set up to work with the target device. If you've done that already, log in to your Cocospy account, which is the control panel. You can remotely monitor the target device from here. The selection panel on the left of the homescreen is where you can access Cocospy's features.

By default, Cocospy makes new data available from the target non-rooted and non-jailbroken devices once every 24 hours. For rooted or jailbroken devices, you can manually set the update frequency. The minimum time is 10 minutes.

We recommend setting the update frequency to once every half a dozen hours or so. Any more than that and the battery drain might be noticeable.

Firstly, login and go to your control panel, click on 'Billing', then click 'Subscription Plan', finally, click 'Cancel Subscription'.

There's a fixed limit on how many devices you can monitor, depending on the plan you've purchased. Check your subscription for more details. To monitor more devices, you may need to upgrade your plan.

Cocospy works without jailbreak. You get monitor contacts, call log, WhatsApp data, GPS location, calendar events, and messages. For advanced features like Instagram and Facebook monitoring, though, you will have to jailbreak the device.

Yes, jailbreaking voids the warranty on the target iOS device. However, jailbreaking can be reversed. If you manage it, Apple will probably still repair the damaged device.

Rooting is the process that gives you access to the "root" of the Android operating system. That's administrator-level access, the highest you can get. Cocospy needs extra permissions to make advanced features like Geofencing work.

There are no surefire ways to tell if monitoring software is installed on a device. Check the storage for suspicious files. See if your phone behaves erratically, including restarts, battery drain, and slowdowns.

If Cocospy was installed on the lost device, you may be able to trace it from the Locations tab. Log in to your dashboard and check. Alternatively, find the IMEI number in the SIM card menu and get in touch with your carrier.
