What is Umobix?
Umobix is a parental control application that will give you important information about your child's activities online and even offline.
Like any other application of this type, you will need to install Umobix on the target device and follow the instructions in order to obtain the type of data you are interested in.
Even though it was designed as a parental control application to help parents better protect their children, given the risks that are present today, you can still monitor others as well, not just your children.
As a parental control application, it can bring great peace of mind to any parent and it also increases the security that all children need.
How do I install uMobix?
The first step in monitoring your loved ones is to create your uMobix account. To create your uMobix account, you need to go to the official uMobix website.
1. By clicking on the link, you will be taken to the home page of the official site. When you get to the uMobix website, in the top right corner, you'll see TRY IT NOW.
2. After clicking, you will need to enter the email address you want to register with. The same email address will be required to access the uMobix portal from where you can remotely monitor your loved ones.
3. After registering, you will need to choose what type of device (Android or iOS) your child/spouse is using. By clicking on Android Phone or Tablet or iPhone, iPad, iOS, you will select the type of device.
In my case, it was Android that I wanted to monitor. Depending on the choice of the device, you will need to opt for a subscription.
4. After creating your account and choosing a subscription to the uMobix spy software, you will receive an email with your uMobix login URL and account credentials (username and password) as well as a registration code. The registration code will be required when installing the uMobix app on the target phone.
5. The credentials you received in the email will be required to log in to the uMobix portal.
6. After logging in, you will be taken to a page where you will see a series of instructions as well as the registration code.
Keep this page open and have the Android phone you want to monitor handy. For the installation process, you will need to have physical access to the phone.
The reason is that Android phones require multiple security permissions that are required at the time of installation. If you don't, you won't be able to install the spy app. Therefore, you need to have physical access to the phone with you.
Features
1. Call monitoring
uMobix offers comprehensive call tracking, displaying detailed information about incoming, outgoing, and missed calls.
- Call details: Includes contact name/number, nature of call, duration, and date/time.
- Call filtering: Allows you to sort incoming and outgoing calls.
- Block Contacts: “Click To Block” feature to block contacts remotely.
While uMobix offers comprehensive call tracking, the lack of call recording and time filtering functionality limits its usefulness.
2. Address book
The uMobix address book reveals detailed information about the contacts stored on the target phone.
- Contact details: Shows the name, number (s), and status of the contact (existing or deleted).
- Sorting contacts: Alphabetical sorting option.
Address book monitoring is useful, but the lack of search functionality for a specific contact can be a disadvantage.
3. Message Monitoring
uMobix allows SMS messages, including deleted messages, to be effectively monitored.
- SMS tracking: Shows incoming and outgoing messages, with the option to view deleted messages.
- Last message: Provides a quick overview of recent messages.
The message tracking functionality is comprehensive, but the replication of some messages and the absence of a search by specific contact can be weak points.
4. GPS Location Tracking
uMobix offers in-depth location monitoring, using GPS to track the locations visited.
- Location details: Includes longitude and latitude coordinates, with timestamps.
- Google maps: Integration for detailed visualization of locations.
Although the location functionality is detailed, improvements are needed to make location data accurate and up to date.
5. Keylogger
uMobix offers an advanced keylogger, recording all keystrokes made on the target phone.
- Detailed follow-up: Records all keystrokes, including words typed and when they were typed.
- Keyword research: Allows you to search for specific words or applications like WhatsApp.
The keylogger is a powerful tool, but the inability to know with whom the conversion is taking place limits its effectiveness.
6. Social Media Monitoring
uMobix captures real-time screenshots of social media apps used by the target phone.
- Social Platform Coverage: Includes Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram, and more.
- Real-time screenshots: Saves screenshots without informing the target user.
Social media monitoring is comprehensive, although issues with some applications like Facebook and Instagram have been noted.
7. Media Monitoring
uMobix makes it possible to monitor photos and videos stored on a target device.
- Pictures: View all images, including WhatsApp shares.
- Videos: Allows you to view and download videos.
The media feature is useful, but limited image previewing and problems updating recent videos can be downsides.
8. Internet monitoring
uMobix provides a comprehensive overview of the target user's online activities.
- Browser history: Shows search history, including incognito searches.
- WiFi blocking: Allows you to block access to certain WiFi networks.
Internet monitoring is effective, but improvements are needed for displaying web page titles and synchronizing bookmarks.
9. Applications and Application Activity
uMobix offers in-depth monitoring of installed applications and their use.
- Installed applications: Shows and allows to block/remove applications.
- Application Activity: Shows the duration of use and the status of the applications.
App monitoring is useful for parental control, but improvements are needed for accurate usage time.
10. Newly Added Features
uMobix recently introduced advanced audio and video surveillance features.
- Audio and Video Streams: Remote access to microphone and camera to monitor the environment.
- Photo Snapshot: Allows you to take photos remotely
These advanced features increase the versatility of uMobix, but they require improvements for consistent and reliable use.
Final opinion
uMobix is a robust monitoring tool, offering a full range of features to monitor mobile phone activities. While it excels at monitoring calls, messages, and social networks, some limitations in data accuracy and the reliability of advanced features may require improvement. Overall, uMobix presents itself as a solid option for parental tracking and partner monitoring.
Customer Support
uMobix has one of the best customer support services I've seen on any other spy software. The best part is that you don't need to send an email and wait for their responses as you can chat with their customer support executives and resolve your issue within minutes. I ran into an issue when testing the photo snapshot and video stream feature and so I talked to customer support about it. You can find the chat support option at the bottom right of your uMobix dashboard.
A few seconds after asking my question, I was assigned a manager. He listened patiently to all my problems and provided me with valid answers.
Overall, I am very happy with their customer service.
