While exploring mSpy's geofencing capabilities, a question comes into my mind:
"Can I get alerts with mSpy when the target phone enters or leaves a geofence?"

  • Real-Time Updates: Once the geofences were set, I received real-time updates. This was very re-assuring especially when my child was travelling to and from school.
  • History Logs: mSpy also provided logs of all entries and exits from these geofenced areas. The reviews of these logs made me understand the lifestyle pattern of my child.
