There’s just something about watching a moving target on an HD video or photo that makes you feel like you’re actually there with them, even though you’re just eye-level with the camera. It’s almost like your own personal spy camera — you can see every little movement and reaction, right up to the final frame. That being said, keeping tabs on your friends and family isn’t something we do often, let alone when they’re in motion. So how can we improve our ability to keep tabs on people while they’re at home via our smartphone? Let’s take a look at some of the top apps for smartphone surveillance:
Below is a quick run-down of the top smartphone apps for keeping tabs on friends and family.
## InstaStruggle
This is the one app that literally gets your family and friends in the same frame. It’s the go-to app for parents who want to keep tabs on their kids and are willing to put in the effort. It’s also the go-to for school and workplace teams who have an interest in keeping a watchful eye on their peers.
Snapchat
Snaps are the ultimate Instagrams, and for good reason. Every photo you take is added to your feed, and you can easily view and repost them if you want to show them off. It’s also one of the most popular ways to communicate with your friends, as it allows you to exchange photos and videos with them while they’re in the middle of doing something else. And if you want to keep tabs on your friends while they’re on social media, you can also set up a live video feed to stay in the know.
Go52
Go52 is another popular social media monitoring app for smartphones, and for good reason. It’s simple to use and allows you to track and track-reforze any and all social media posts. You can also see who’s reposting from your feed and see who else is repurposing old photos and videos. There’s even a built-in “reaction” feature to help you analyze and understand what’s going on in the social media world.
Whisperiness
This one’s for the privacy-conscious among us. While you can’t identify your family and friends via this app, you can warn them of hazards in the world around them, like cancer and dangerous animal animals. You can set up alerts to let them know when certain dangers are likely to occur, like the risk of wildfires.
Finish Sight
This is the ultimate family camera, packed with features and functions that make it an essential part of any parent’s phone. The Camera app allows you to set up an auto-shot of your kids while they’re in the middle of something, or you can manually take the shot and share it with the world.
Find Your Family on Social Media
Take the guesswork out of it, and just automatically search for your family on social media. A lot of social media platforms have you able to choose from a large number of videos and photos to search for your family. You can even see which people you’ve gathered is most likely to share your content.
Conclusion
Keeping tabs on friends and family is never easy, but when you have the perfect app for the job, it’s easy. Using these top smartphone monitoring apps, you can keep tabs on your friends and family while they’re at home, or you can keep tabs on them while they’re on the move. With a little effort, you can also keep an eye on your fellow classmates while they’re in the classroom.
