In the James Bond films and also those of Mission Impossible, the spy was always equipped with watches or bugs to be placed around to retrieve information and expose the bad guys. Today, however, with modern smartphones, everyone can equip themselves and carry around spy applications, whose effectiveness can be amplified by the imagination of those who want to use them to their advantage. To use the mobile phone as James Bond would do, then you can install some spy, detective or journalist applications, very useful for capturing information in secret, audio, video or photos, both on iPhone and on an Android mobile phone .
1) Hidden Spy Cam for iPhone (costs 5 Euros) is the app to take photos of anyone, without getting caught . It shows any background on the screen while what it does is take a series of photos or shoot a video, in an occult way, without other people being able to notice it. Easy to use on any occasion where you want to take pictures without getting noticed.
2) Quick Video Recorder for Android is an app that allows you to record videos from your phone without being noticed, keeping the screen off. This app can therefore record videos in the background without interrupting, with Full HD resolution, up to 30 minutes or 4 GB of storage space.
3) Record My Call is free for Android. Record My Call is an app that allows you to record every call you make with your mobile phone, both invite and receipt. The app works even if the reviews are a little bad, especially by pointing the finger at a problem: you need to activate the microphone and then hear the phone call in speakerphone to record it.

4) Spy Recorder is a nice spy app because it allows you to schedule audio recordings on an iPhone .
The application, without being noticed and without giving signals, activates audio recording at set times and on set days or even when you go to a certain place. The perfect recorder for real secret agents (it's not free though, it costs 2 Euros).
5) Snapchat is an app that has recently been hugely successful, especially among the youngest ones who love to make jokes and send risqué images.
Snapchat is used to send messages with images that automatically self-destruct after 10 seconds appearing on the recipient's screen. Even if the app notifies you if the recipient tries to save the sent image, there are also some tricks to save the photos received via Snapchat without being noticed. SnapChat can be downloaded for free for both iPhone and Android.
6) Cerberus to control a mobile phone (Android) is perfect, because it takes photos, records audio and video and allows you to read SMS and call logs in an easy and hidden way.
7) Family Locator (Android) is perhaps the best application for worried mothers about where unconscious children go or for wives who want to spy on the movements of their husbands when they say they go to work or play soccer. You can try it for free in the Lite version and it allows you to know everything that controlled people do, both their movements, the places where they are, the people they call and everything that can make anyone become a real stalker.
Alternatively, three other applications to control other people's movements are:
- Space-time to locate an iPhone via SMS
- Google Latitude to track your position and movements at all times
- CircleOf6 to create a circle of people, friends or family, who can know where they are at any time.
8) Worldscope Webcam is a free application that allows you to watch hundreds of live videos from all over the world live from public webcams . SpyCams can be downloaded for free on iPhone and Android.
9) Stealth Cam (iPhone, 0.89 Euro) is another interesting app for taking photos in secret, without making sounds, keeping the screen dark.
Curiously, this application also includes a flash option, useless if you don't want to show up.
10) To record videos secretly on Android instead you can use the Background Video Recorder app, free in the lite version that still works well.
Photos can be taken by simply touching the widget on the screen.
Alternatively, you can download an app for free silent quick shots on Android for free.
11) Ear Spy is an app for Android that allows you to amplify the sounds around to hear them better with headphones. In practice, put on the headphones, activate the application and then listen to the speeches of the nearby people, to get their own cabbage.
I also add IP Webcam to these apps which allows you to use the Android camera as a webcam for your PC.
I conclude the article on spy applications by warning that every advertisement that you see on TV regarding the way to spy and read the SMS of any mobile phone are only paid scams of prank applications that only pretend.
