Top 10 Best Keyloggers for iPhone 2021
If you are a concerned parent who wants to make sure that your children are staying safe on the Internet or if you have suspicions that your partner is cheating on you or even if you’re an employer fed-up with your employees not getting enough work done because they spend too much time on their iPhones, look no further! There is software to take care of all your monitoring needs, and that software is a keylogger.
What exactly is a keylogger? It is a type of software used to record all the keys that a user strikes on their keyboard, usually discreetly so that the user doesn’t know that their actions are being monitored. A good keylogger should be virtually impossible to detect on the target device, so you’ll have full access to everything the device’s user searches for online, the websites they visit, the people they chat to, etc.
In the past, keyloggers were only available for computers, but nowadays, with people spending more time on their iPhones, it is quite useful to monitor mobile activity as well. Many people think that keyloggers are not legal since they are often used by hackers to leak somebody’s data. In fact, using a keylogger for parental control and employee monitoring is absolutely legit. Note that when monitoring your staff, you should notify the team that they are being monitored. When it comes to parental control, using a keylogger for taking care of the child is legal and justified. If you want to monitor your spouse, you’d better check your state and federal laws before installing a keylogger on the partner’s device.
Now let’s take a look at the top 10 keyloggers for iOS in 2021!
10. SafeSpy
SafeSpy is a monitoring app that silently runs in the background of the target device, can be installed remotely without touching the target iPhone and doesn’t require jailbreaking the device. The app guarantees that it\s invisible to the target so you won’t be caught. Other than keylogging, the app records browser history, WhatsApp messages, media files, call logs and more. You can log into your SafeSpy account online anytime and see what the target iPhone’s user is up to. You can do that thanks to the following features:
• Keylogging;
• Monitor calls — both call logs and recordings;
• Monitor texts, emails, browsing history;
• Monitor instant messaging and social media apps — Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, Yahoo;
• View contacts, media files, app usage;
• Track GPS location.
It doesn’t monitor many IM apps, which is a downside.
9. MobileSpy
MobileSpy is a pretty decent keylogging and monitoring app with enough features to give you an idea of what the user of the target iPhone is up to. However, if the target iPhone isn’t jailbroken, then this isn’t the app for you, despite its unique feature to track gambling apps.
Apart from tracking gambling apps and keylogging, MobileSpy offers the following features:
• GPS location tracking;
• Monitor call logs, texts, emails, browsing history;
• Access contacts, calendar, notes, media files;
• Live screenshots — view the iPhone’s screen in real-time;
• Monitor instant messaging and social media apps — iMessage, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter;
• Alerts — get notified of any unapproved activity, e.g. profanity, when the iPhone travels beyond certain perimeters (Geo-Fencing), the wrong PIN entered.
8. Highster Mobile
Highster Mobile is an app that uses the OTA (over-the-air) method to download and install. During the installation, you enter the mobile number of the target device, and after entering the activation key provided to you after payment, you’re all set to start monitoring by logging into your account from any device with an internet connection! However, you need physical access to jailbroken iPhones, while for non-jailbroken ones the AppleID and password are required.
It offers most of the basic features:
• Access to call logs, texts, emails, browsing history;
• Access to instant messaging and social media apps — but doesn’t cover as many apps as its competitors;
• Access to media files, contacts, notes, calendars;
• GPS location tracking.
7. FlexiSpy
FlexiSpy’s website may proclaim it to be the best monitoring app on the market, but the lack of remote installation and the fact that it only works on jailbroken iPhones really makes us question those claims. If you’re looking for remote installation on a non-jailbroken iPhone, there are other apps that will prove themselves more suitable for you. But that doesn’t mean that FlexiSpy doesn’t have decent monitoring features. The list below will satisfy most people’s monitoring needs:
• Monitor calls — not just call logs, but also live call listening and recording;
• Monitor texts, emails, IM and social media apps;
• Keylogging;
• Track GPS location;
• View browser history and media files;
• Remote control of camera — photo and video evidence of what the phone owner is up to.
6. XNSPY
XNSPY is an accurate, fast and reliable monitoring app that works both on jailbroken and non-jailbroken iPhones, but remote installation is only available for non-jailbroken iPhones, while jailbroken ones still require physical access during installation. When you log into your XNSPY account online, you will discover a user-friendly control panel that displays all information collected from the target iPhone.
XNSPY offers the following features:
• Keylogging;
• Extensive social media monitoring — including Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Instagram, iMessage, Line, KiK, Tinder;
• Tracking GPS location;
• View call logs, texts, emails;
• View contacts, calendar, notes, multimedia files;
Unfortunately, the website mentions nothing about monitoring Facebook, which is quite a big minus.
5. SpyEra
According to SpyEra’s website, it is the only completely undetectable monitoring app available for iOS. While it is true that once installed, it’s completely hidden on the target device and doesn’t even drain the battery, which is often a tell-tale sign for users that there’s an unwanted app installed on their iPhone, the iPhone needs to be jailbroken.
SpyEra offers the following features:
• Live call listening and recording;
• Record surroundings;
• Access to texts, emails, chats, instant messaging apps — available for 16 apps, including WhatsApp, Snapchat, Viber, Skype, and Facebook Messenger;
• View camera and media files;
• GPS location tracking.
All information is then discreetly uploaded to your secure online account, with only an internet connection needed. The uploading intervals are adjustable from 1 to 24-hour intervals.
4. Spyzie
Spyzie is a web-based monitoring tool, meaning that you register for a Spyzie account online and view all data collected from the target iPhone online. However, although you don’t need to install any app on the target iPhone, you do need authorized access to it and to its iCloud ID and password. Spyzie offers the following features:
• Keylogging;
• Monitor call logs, texts, emails;
• Monitor instant messaging and social media apps;
• Monitor calendar, notes, contacts, media files;
• Track GPS location.
3. Pumpic iPhone Keylogger
Pumpic iPhone Keylogger advertises itself on the website with a heavy focus on parental monitoring in order to attract as many concerned parents as possible. This is a good marketing strategy, as many parents aren’t all that tech-savvy and prefer when app descriptions get straight to the point. This is why the app’s simple website with clear information is a huge plus. One of its minuses, however, is the fact that physical access to the target iPhone is required to install Pumpic on it. But since it’s a quick installation, it is possible to do it without anyone catching you in the middle of the act! After that, you’re able to see all data from the target iPhone by logging into the Control Panel online or via a mobile app.
Pumpic offers the following features:
• Monitor call logs, texts, and emails;
• Monitor instant messaging and social media apps — including Instagram, Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Viber, and KiK; calls made over these apps can also be accessed;
• Monitor calendars, notes, contacts, and media files;
• Monitor browsing history;
• Monitor applications — view what’s been installed; block and limit the use of certain apps;
• Track GPS location;
• Keylogging.
2. iKeyMonitor
iKeyMonitor’s website describes iKeyMonitor as a ‘’powerful tracking app’’ widely used by parents monitoring their children and one has to admit it really is a good choice! This is a truly powerful monitoring app that will help you discover what your children are really up to thanks to its good tracking features, such as:
• Recording keystrokes;
• GPS tracking;
• Recording surroundings — it uses the target iPhone’s microphone to turn it into a bugging device (jailbroken iPhones only!);
• Automatic screenshots — screenshots are taken of the device’s screen and periodically sent to your account;
• Recording calls;
• Acces to call logs, texts, emails, instant messaging and social media apps, and media files;
All information gathered is available to view via a secure online account. No cables, only a wi-fi connection is needed! You can also have logs sent to you by email.
1. mSpy

There are only two simple steps for you to take before you start to enjoy all of its benefits. First, you will have to download it on the target phone, and then create a mSpy account where all the recorded activity will be automatically sent.
