If you are searching for a way to monitor Telegram chats, this guide will help you understand the capabilities and limitations of mSpy, one of the best parental control apps out there.

I’ve been experimenting with various monitoring tools over the past few weeks and mSpy is one of those that stands out. Let me share you here my experience.

 

mSpy’s features for monitoring Telegram

This parental control software offers everything a user could want when monitoring Telegram. Here are the highlights:

  • Access To Text Messages: You can view both sent and received messages.
  • Timestamps: Each message comes with precise timing details.
  • Shared Media Tracking: It can monitor photos and videos that were shared.
  • Contact Details Viewing: You can see who your child is communicating with.
  • Group Chat Monitoring: You'll be able to understand what’s happening in group conversations.

 

mSpy’s compatibility & installation

This tool works on Android and iOS devices but there are differences:

Android Devices

It works on Android 4+ devices. You must have physical access to the device to install it, and then you can monitor your child’s device remotely. It also has a keylogger feature which lets you see everything typed on the device.

iOS Devices

It works on iOS 7 – 9; 11.2 – 12.4; and 13 – 14.6 devices too but there are two versions:

  • Jailbreak version: This has all features including access to social media apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Viber, Skype, Line, Tinder, Telegram, Hangouts, Kik, Instagram as well as email accounts.
  • Non-jailbreak version: This doesn’t have as many features as the jailbreak version but still offers excellent protection including monitoring call logs and contacts.

How to monitor telegram with mSpy

It takes only three steps to do this:

  1. Select an mSpy plan. All plans come with Telegram monitoring.
  2. Install mSpy on the target device.
  3. Start monitoring through the dashboard,

 

Can mSpy track secret chats?

Unfortunately, this feature is not supported. Due to the end-to-end encryption used in secret chats by Telegram users, there is no way for you to monitor them unless you have physical access to the device that's being monitored.

 

Is there anything bad about using this app?

Yes. Just like any service, there are some cons too:

  • Limited message recovery: You can only recover messages after installing mSpy on the device.
  • Connectivity dependence: You need a good internet connection for monitoring Telegram activities.
  • Risk of detection: Knowledgeable users may notice something is amiss because it shows an icon in their list of apps.

 

My conclusion

I found that this mSpy was very effective at capturing real-time conversations as well as media shared over the Telegram platform. However its installation process and platform-specific limitations must be taken into account if you decide to use it.
