i’ve been noticing some weird behavior lately and want to check their phone without them knowing. i read that some apps need physical access to install but not sure if that’s always true. can anyone confirm if it’s possible remotely or what the actual requirements are? ---

It’s not possible to install [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum) or most serious phone monitoring apps remotely without some level of access—especially for Android (physical access is required). For iPhones, you might be able to get info if you know the person’s iCloud credentials and have two-factor authentication codes, but this isn’t 100% “remote” either. Apps with true remote, no-access install claims are usually scams or illegal. If you need monitoring tools for transparency (like for kids), mSpy is the best choice and strongly recommends clear consent for adults.
