One of the most powerful and most useful apps for Android smartphones (therefore for any Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, LG, Asus and any other non-iPhone) is Cerberus, of which, guilty, I had never talked about before.
To remedy, therefore, we dedicate an entire article to this very strong application that can be used for two purposes: as an anti-theft device on one's own phone or as a spy on another's mobile phone, to keep it under control .
Although Cerberus is not one of those espionage apps at all, it still remains one of the best and easy to use for those who need to control Whatsapp, Instagram or other messaging apps on the smartphone of their son or daughter or any other person, to know where it is at any time and many other information.
Cerberus, whose main control functions we are going to discover here, is an app that you can try for free, which then requires you to pay a subscription (5 Euros per year) to keep it active on your phone. Usually I avoid this type of application, but due to its characteristics it can be useful even only in the trial version if used only to control another person's phone, only temporarily.

To download Cerberus you have to go to the official website and download the APK file from your phone.
On the Cerberus website it is possible to download a different version of the application, called Disguised Version . This Disguised version is used to install Cerberus in hidden mode, so that it is not visible in the list of installed apps (because it will have an unrecognizable name and a standard Android icon).
To start using Cerberus, you must necessarily create an account and then grant all the required permissions. Although it works best on phones unlocked with root, it can spy on any smartphone even if it is not rooted. Once installed and activated, you can leave it in the background and forget about it.
To find all the controls put in place by Cerberus, you need to open the www.cerberusapp.com website and log in with your username and password. From the Dashboard you will immediately find the road map for real-time location of the mobile phone and then a whole series of commands, on the left side, which you can perform to spy on and check the activities of the phone.
The commands that can be remotely launched on an Android smartphone via Cerberus are as follows:
In addition to these functions, purely anti-theft, there are also very powerful control functions, which you can use to spy on Whatsapp or Instagram or any other phone function including:
Cerberus commands to control a mobile phone from a distance can also be sent to the mobile phone where the application is installed, via SMS . You must therefore send an SMS containing the command and password such as: cerberus password find to locate your device. The list of SMS commands is sent via email when the account is registered and can also be read on the official website.
In essence, this Cerberus is a very special app, which was born as an anti-theft device but which can be used to spy on Whatsapp or other chats on the smartphone in which it was installed secretly. Surely the subscription price is not really low, especially because the 5 Euro per year subscription is valid only for one device. However, the fact of being able to use it for free for a week leads Cerberus to also become a good and safe spy app, which you can install on any phone by logging in every time with a new different account.
Surely there is no shortage of free alternatives, if you are looking for a way to control or spy on another's phone .
