Wiretapping an Android mobile phone - How to listen

Wiretapping telephone conversations is an illegal action prosecuted under Article 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, even if the surveillance is carried out in relation to close relatives and spouses. In addition, eavesdropping is unethical. But all this will not prevent you from listening to your wife’s phone using special software. To do this, we have prepared detailed instructions for you.

Before you listen to someone else's mobile phone, remember:

• You alone bear responsibility for these actions (including criminal ones).
• All possible risks associated with the possible detection of wiretapping fall solely on you.
• We are not responsible for the performance of the software in this review.
• We are not responsible for the safety of your personal data.

You also need to remember that listening to the telephone conversations of your wife (or husband) is unethical and ugly, this is the highest manifestation of distrust in your own wife. If the ethical side of the issue does not concern you, use the instructions below.

Spyware

Special spy software will help you listen to your husband or wife's phone. We will not figure out why this is needed at all - we only give instructions. First you need to solve two problems - select an application and install it on the controlled phone. We found two services online that allow you to establish almost total control over your wife or husband’s smartphone (or even over your own).

TalkLog service

The first service is called TalkLog, it works in paid mode. Its capabilities:

• Saving and compressing telephone conversations for subsequent uploading to the server.
• Listening to conversations over the Internet and downloading data to your computer.
• Reading incoming and outgoing messages.
• View information about calls made - when, to whom, duration of calls.
• View multimedia messages.
• View photos and videos taken.
• View your browser history.
• Control of installed applications.
• Monitoring the subscriber's location (including with high accuracy via GPS).
• Controlling smartphone on/off.
• Listening to your surroundings.

Despite the fact that the service is paid, it is possible to try it for free - there is a trial period of 12 hours. After completion, you must pay for the subscription. Its cost is 14.9 USD per month. A six-month subscription will cost 69.9 USD, an annual subscription will cost 89.9 USD. Location monitoring, browser history reading, application monitoring and on/off control are provided free of charge.

Recorded conversations are stored in the smartphone's memory. After they are transferred to the server, the files must be deleted. The transfer is carried out via mobile Internet (you need to activate this option) or via Wi-Fi (in the latter case, you can avoid suspicious traffic leakage). To listen to conversations, you need to visit your personal account.

Please note that the service prohibits illegal use, so all risks lie solely with the users.

VkurSe application

Cheaper service compared to the previous one. Its capabilities:

• Record conversations and ambient sounds with automatic sending of files and notifications by email.
• Monitoring and reading CMC.
• Control the location of the smartphone.
• Remote activation of GPS for more accurate coordinates.
• Remote blocking of a mobile phone.
• Management of blocking codes.
• Blocking certain applications.
• Control of correspondence in VK, WhatsApp, Odnoklassniki, Viber and KateMobile (unofficial VK client) - only with root rights.
• Managing a client application using service SMS.
• Monitoring the camera and the photos it takes and sending them to the server.
• Taking screenshots.

The service is really powerful and allows you to get almost complete access to controlled devices (by the way, there can be up to 10 of them on one account). Initially, it was created to control your own devices, but nothing prevents you from installing the client part on your wife or husband’s phone. It can also be used to provide parental control over children's tubes. The application runs in stealth mode, trying not to load the processor.

VkurSe is provided by subscription. Daily access costs 4.99 USD, monthly access is only 11.9 USD, semi-annual access is 59.9 USD, annual access is 99.9 USD, two-year access is 159.9 USD. There is also a three-day trial trial subscription with full access to all functionality.

It is quite possible that there are also free applications that perform spy functions and allow you to listen to the phone of your wife and husband. You can search for them yourself, but this is extremely dangerous - there are thousands of scammers working in this area who can gain access to your data and bank cards.

How to install wiretapping on a cell phone

The first priority is to register in the selected service, and then pay for a particular period of use. You can also take advantage of the free period for preliminary tests. After that, we proceed to install applications.

Installing a spy Trojan

So, in order to wiretap your wife’s cell phone, you need to install an application on it from one of the above services (and this is actually a Trojan). Moreover, this must be done secretly from your spouse - for example, use her phone when she is sleeping or has gone to the toilet. Applications are downloaded from the VkurSe and TalkLog sites - it is useless to look for them in the Play Market. Don't forget to allow installation of applications from unverified sources in your phone settings.

Install the application, complete all the necessary settings, set permissions. Do not forget to first disable anti-virus software and automatic application control implemented in Android operating systems versions 8 and 9 (Protection on Google Play). Log in with the username and password from the account you created earlier, follow all the necessary recommendations (they will be displayed on the screen during setup).

Setup Tips:

• Strictly follow the recommendations created by the spyware developers.
• Do not touch settings whose purpose you do not understand.
• Do not enable unnecessary functions - this will create a large load on the processor and the Internet channel.

It is also not recommended to install several spy applications at the same time, since in this case conflicts are possible, including those that can be detected by the end user (wife or husband). The same applies to working with root - remember that any careless action can bring the phone to a “bricked” state (it won’t turn on or an endless reboot).

Please note that it is impossible to listen to your wife’s phone without installing the application, so there is no escape from this stage. After the installation is complete, you will notice traces - clear your browser history and delete the installation package.

Alternative way

The same VkurSe offers a comprehensive service for preparing a smartphone for wiretapping. The user selects a handset and reports its name to the support service. After receiving a notification about the normal operation of the software in this model, the user pays 80% of the cost of the handset preparation service - the total cost is 400 USD. You also need to pay the cost of the smartphone (here everything depends on the store where the purchase is made). Delivery is carried out by Russian Post or courier service.

The setup cost includes:

• 24/7 technical support.
• Guaranteed operation of the smartphone and readiness for wiretapping.
• Two years of subscription to the service.
• Installing all necessary rights and permissions.

The resulting phone can be presented to your wife as a gift. Although here it is still worth thinking about trust in your spouse.

Application update

All programs in our review are updated manually. Monitor the release of new versions on official websites. And remember, if your wife finds you with her phone in her hands, you’ll have to somehow get out of it (come up with an excuse yourself). Installing the new version is easy - it is installed on top of the old one.

Working with applications

Installed applications run in hidden mode, without notifications or shortcuts. Listening to your wife's phone is carried out through the personal account of the selected service; it is also possible to send files with data by email. If necessary, you can download data to listen to conversations on your computer.

How to get into another person's phone on iOS for free via the Internet

You cannot install third-party applications on iPhone. This restriction helps protect users who thoughtlessly installed infected software. However, if you know the Apple ID and password, you can easily remotely spy on the owner of an iPhone linked to it.

Some people deliberately give Apple devices to relatives and loved ones for the purpose of spying on a previously known ID. An attacker only needs to configure the iOS device in advance, allowing it to run backups from the iCloud cloud storage. How to do it:

1. Open the Settings application.
2. Go to the "iCloud" tab.

3. Click on the “Find iPhone” item and the “Backup” option.

After this, you will be able to log into the user’s personal account through any device. The easiest way to control someone else's phone by ID is if you register it yourself before the person starts using it. However, you can try to find out the ID if the iPhone owner trusts you.

Is it possible to wiretap using the Internet?

Some kind of remote wiretapping of your wife’s phone via the Internet is impossible. Although many services claim the opposite. Most often, these are fraudulent services whose task is to siphon money from the pockets of gullible people into the pockets of the owners. Also, you should not respond to advertisements from people promising to gain access to any handsets without the help of software - only special services that have an entire arsenal of special equipment and access to the switchboards of cellular operators are capable of this.

Legal

The first of them is for informational purposes only, as it belongs to the official category. It involves direct contact with the cellular operator.

However, such a service is provided exclusively to representatives of law enforcement agencies, provided that they have permission from the relevant authorities. In this case, the operator must provide all statistics on outgoing and incoming calls, as well as the contents of all sent SMS messages. Let us emphasize once again that ordinary citizens cannot use this method.

Wiretapping without apps

There is no option to listen to your wife’s phone without installing additional applications, just by phone number. As mentioned above, only the special services have it. The problem of wiretapping can be solved by contacting some influential acquaintances working in law enforcement agencies. In general, there is such an opportunity, especially since today all operators are obliged to keep negotiations within the framework of the “Yarovaya package”.

Is it possible to buy a wiretapping bug?

Bugs for listening to rooms really exist. There are also compact cameras built into pens, glasses, lighters and other items. The problem is that the circulation of such devices is prohibited in Russia - many cases have been registered when criminal cases were initiated against Russians when ordering such devices from Chinese online stores. Moreover, it is almost impossible to embed some kind of bug into a smartphone that has no free space. It is much easier to use special software.

How to listen to someone else's iPhone

Almost all aspects of our lives now leave an information trail on the Internet, which can always be taken advantage of by an ill-wisher. However, parents, jealous spouses and suspicious employers are now most often interested in the wiretapping function. Regardless of the motive, this type of collection of information about another person is illegal and entails legal liability.

If you handle the emerging opportunities wisely, you can make your life much easier by using them to track the route of your car, navigate unfamiliar terrain, or further protect your child during independent walks.

The user is now not required to purchase additional devices; everything can be done using a regular iPhone. By installing one of these applications, you can listen to and record other people's calls, read correspondence in various managers, determine the subscriber's position using geographic coordinates, listen to the environment without additional incoming calls, view Internet activity and track the frequency of application use and block the iPhone when it is used. theft.

In addition to these highly sought-after features, advanced iPhone spy programs allow you to remotely send messages or make calls from a tracked phone, intercept and manage incoming emails and SMS, even view files contained on the phone, take photos or videos from someone else’s phone, and monitor applications.

The most important thing is that finding such programs and establishing the fact of wiretapping is not so easy, and even an advanced user may not be aware of the fact of wiretapping.

Of course, in addition to programs, you can also use additional devices - special bugs, for example, but, as is understandable, this method is both more expensive and more obvious.

Possible consequences of wiretapping

Some wives and husbands misinterpret the provisions of the law on the secrecy of correspondence and telephone conversations, rightly believing that they have every right to such actions. In fact, this is not so - if wiretapping is discovered, the wife can sue her own husband, and she most likely wins the case (a technical examination of the smartphone will help to collect evidence).

Moreover, there are factors indicating wiretapping:

• The smartphone battery began to discharge a couple of times faster than before.
• Traffic leakage – conversations take little, but regular sending of photos can raise suspicions.
• Some errors began to appear on the phone - this is due to possible malfunctions in the operation of spy applications.

If you have any doubts, hand over your smartphone to experts who can easily detect the installed software. Therefore, before wiretapping your own wife’s phone, we recommend that you think twenty times about the consequences - going to court will lead to the imposition of a substantial fine or imprisonment.

According to Art. 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, violation of the secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations, postal, telegraph or other messages of citizens is punishable by fines of up to 80 thousand rubles (or up to six salaries or other income of the convicted person), or correctional labor for up to one year. If, due to your official position, it is possible to use technical means, the fine increases to 300 thousand rubles (or the amount of wages for a period of up to two years), and arrest for up to four months is also possible.

Prosecution under Art. 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - on violation of privacy. And a good lawyer hired by his wife for legal proceedings will easily bring additional articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation into the case, which will only increase the chances of going to jail. We recommend that you think about the possible consequences and advisability of wiretapping.

We must not forget about the ethical side of the issue of listening - it is ugly towards your other half.

Summing up

So, in this article we looked at the most common methods of wiretapping a wife’s telephone conversations, but the main and most acceptable method turned out to be using the VkurSE spy program.

The program really has an incredible number of different remote control capabilities, however, our article discussed only the basic functions for listening to conversations and reading SMS messages.

If you want to familiarize yourself with the full functionality of the program and its configuration for mobile devices with ROOT access, you can do this on the official website of the developer or by downloading a PDF file with complete instructions.

Content

It would seem how possible it is to wiretap a phone in the era of cryptography of all messages and conversations. But technology does not only work for good: if there is a new method of encryption, then there will be a new method of hacking. And we’re not even talking about special services, but about simple attackers with much more modest capabilities.

First, let's determine the type of intruder and its capabilities.

Highly qualified specialists can use the entire technology stack and create new programs for hacking devices. Including the use of hardware bookmarks, network scanners and low-level communication protocols.

Eavesdropping and Targeted Ads

Your phone can listen to you in order to show you its ads. One such app got into a whole heap of trouble when it started doing something new: producing unintelligible tones, meaning ads on computers and phones could "hear" each other and communicate between devices.

If you are connected to the network and come across some advertiser, while your computer is dropping a tracking cookie, it will also emit a Beacon sound (not audible). If you have an application on your phone or tablet that uses a special software development kit on it, your device will “listen” to the advertiser’s audio signal. If you're watching TV, advertising partners' commercials will also emit their own tones for your devices to hear. The result: ads aimed at getting you connected to devices that are completely unrelated to each other, leaving you completely paranoid if you don't know what's going on.

If apps include "record audio" rights and users don't notice it in the fine print, it technically allows them to use their smartphone. Google and Facebook have both denied that their apps use this feature. If you're worried, make sure you carefully review the permissions of every new app on your phone and keep an eye out for new developments; The application was developed in 2016, which tries to block ultrasonic communications on your smartphone that occur without your knowledge.
