I decided to check how well does mSpy fare in tracking Skype. After all, it’s more than just a regular spying software. In this article, I will share my experiences and insights on how this tool is efficient at monitoring Skype.

 

Skype messages supervision

With mSpy, you can read every single text that were sent or received through Skype on the monitored device. This includes the contact information as well as timestamps so it gives you a complete view of conversations.

Use case: Parents and employers can use this feature to check for cyberbullying or any other form of inappropriate messages.

 

Skype calls tracking

mSpy also has the power to track both incoming and outgoing calls on Skype.

Just go to ‘Social Networks’ on your dashboard, click on Skype and you’ll see everything that you need. It provides all the important information as the date and time of each call. For me this creates a clear timeline for call activities.

The only downside is that it tracks metadata only instead of call audio, which I understand since Skype is very strict in recording of audio calls using external tools.

Supervising group chats

This spying software lets you see everything that’s being discussed in a group chat, such as other participants’ names and timestamps. This gives you an understanding about the group dynamics and what they are discussing about.

 

Tracking shared files

There are certain types of files shared through Skype that mSpy can track. These include:

  • Documents
  • Images
  • Other media files

Because of this, you can be sure what’s being exchanged between people is safe or appropriate especially if minors are involved. And if it's in a business setting like an office, you'll be able to know if they are sharing confidential files.

 

Detailed text messaging reports

Curious what insights are waiting for you in mSpy’s reports about tracked Skype messages? This software delivers detailed reports which include:

  • Contact lists
  • Brief summaries of recent conversations
  • Full chat texts with timestamps
  • Multimedia shared through the app

It’s this level of detail that helps you get a good grasp about how this messaging app is being used.

 

Personal observations and final thoughts

Having explored mSpy’s tracking features for Skype, I feel confident in saying that this tool does its job extremely well. It delivers a wealth of information that captures the essence of Skype exchanges with impressive accuracy.

There are a few minor downsides though such as its inability to record voice calls, but I believe that this doesn’t significantly reduce its overall usefulness.

When it comes to thorough surveillance vs ease-of-use, mSpy offers an optimal solution for monitoring online activities via this messaging platform. Its efficiency in capturing important data makes it a valuable resource for anyone who are looking to ensure digital safety and transparency during their Skype chats.
