If you are considering downloading the mSpy application to spy on phones, tablets, PC computers, or Mac computers, you're going to want to make sure your device is compatible. In most cases, the mSpy application is compatible with all Android devices and iOS devices. MSpy also works on most PC computers, and Mac computers, however, there are occasionally some operating system limitations across certain devices.

Likewise, when there is a major release of any new operating system, it can take a little time for the engineers at mSpy to adjust the spy application so it works with the new operating systems. The tutorial below will show you how to check if your device is listed in the mSpy system. In the event your device is not listed, that does not always mean it isn't supported, so if you do not find your device in the list, you can still send an email to the support staff at mSpy, and they will let you know if it is supported or not. If it isn't supported, they will let you know when they expect it to be supported.

1. 1
   The first thing you should do is navigate to the mSpy Website

   .

• Keep in mind that operating systems and devices are constantly changing and updating. Some of those changes or updates may not be supported by mSpy right away. This means that if you are considering updating a system that has mSpy installed, you should first check with mSpy to make sure your system supports it.
• Note that some operating system updates, such as updating an iPhone from iOS 8 to iOS 9 are not easily reversed, and in some cases impossible to reverse. This means that if you are spying on a device, and you update it to an operating system that is not supported by mSpy, you will not be able to spy on it until such time as mSpy updates their application to support the new operating system. You may also not be able to downgrade the device, so be cautious updating.
