Whether we like it or not, Android spy software and programs are here to stay. In fact, spy software has been developed for several mobile operating systems, and the fact that it was developed for the Android operating system tells us that companies think that this system will continue to grow in the future.

However, what is it that Android spy software does? The answer is simple. It collects information about how the Android based phone is being used and makes it available on a website so that the person who bought the Android spy program can see it.

Of course, Android spy software wasn’t meant to be an invasion or privacy or a way to break the law. In fact, it is illegal to install it on phones that aren’t technically yours. Not only it is illegal, but also difficult to install in somebody else’s phone. You’d have to take it without the person’s permission, install the software on it, and return it without the person noticing.

So, what can you do with it? Here are the three most common uses of the software:Finding out if your husband or wife is having an affair. This is perhaps one of the most controversial of uses, but one of the most common. With this software, you can find easily if there’s something to be worried about or if your mind is playing tricks on you. In the worst of cases, at least you’ll be able to start a healing process.

Keeping an eye on your children. When children are lost and they don’t answer the phone, this kind of software can bring relief to a worried parent. Or, in case of an emergency, save a lot of precious time.

Monitoring your employees. We all like to think that our employees always use the phones we give them for the benefit of the company. However, it’s so easy to try to pass personal long distance calls as business calls in order to make the boss pick up the bill. This software can help put a stop to this practice.

So, as you can see, when people use Android spy programs, it’s because they are protecting their interests or their family. It isn’t about hacking into other people’s phones or computers or e-mails. Just people like you and me, worried about protecting what’s valuable to us.
