What is uMobix?

uMobix is one of the most powerful phone monitoring apps for parents. With robust features, it can track:

??? Text messages (even deleted ones)
??? Phone call logs
??? Web browsing history
??? Social media activity
??? GPS location
??? Photos/videos
??? Screen time limits
??? And more!

The app runs 100% in stealth – no child will know it‘s installed. uMobix sends data to an online dashboard parents can access discreetly from a laptop or smartphone.

I love uMobix because it combines high-level phone monitoring with useful parental controls. You can set time limits, block apps and websites, track driving speed, and much more.

Now let‘s get it installed on your child‘s Android!

Step 1: Sign Up for uMobix

The first step is to visit uMobix.com and sign up for a parent account. Click the yellow "Register" button and enter your email and a password.

Make sure to use credentials you‘ll remember – this account is crucial for installing uMobix and viewing the dashboard.

Step 2: Select a Subscription Plan

uMobix offers several subscription tiers depending on your monitoring needs:

Basic ($XX/month):

• Tracks messages, calls, GPS, apps, keywords

Premium ($XX/month):

• Includes everything in Basic

• Adds social media monitoring

• View Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Whatsapp

Family ($XX/month):

• Monitor multiple devices

• Add additional children for $XX each

I recommend the Premium plan – social media access is key to ensuring your child‘s safety. But select the plan that best fits your family‘s needs and budget.

Step 3: Download the uMobix APK

Once subscribed, you‘ll gain access to your uMobix dashboard. Here you can download the uMobix APK file, which contains the Android application.

Be sure to download the APK directly on the device where you‘re installing uMobix – this enables instant setup.

Step 4: Enable Unknown Sources

Before we can install third-party APKs, we need to enable "Unknown Sources" on the Android device.

Go to Settings > Security and toggle on "Unknown sources". This permits installation of apps from outside the Google Play Store.

Remember to turn off "Unknown sources" after installing for security reasons.

Step 5: Install the uMobix APK

Now we‘re ready for installation. Simply open the downloaded uMobix APK file on your child‘s device.

Tap "Install" when prompted and accept any requested app permissions or access to device settings. This allows uMobix to access text messages, location services, call logs and more.

The app will begin installing. The process is quick and easy.

Step 6: Log Into Your uMobix Account

Once installed, open the uMobix app on your child‘s device. You‘ll log in using the same credentials you registered with.

Type in the email and password for your uMobix parent account. This links the device to your dashboard.

Step 7: Delete the APK File

Next, delete the uMobix APK installation file from the device‘s storage. This covers your tracks.

Open the File Manager, find the APK and delete it. Also empty the Trash folder to fully remove it.

Step 8: Hide the App Icon

The final step is to hide the uMobix icon from the home screen. This is crucial for running in stealth mode.

Go to the device‘s Settings > Apps. Find uMobix and toggle off "Show Icon" or uncheck "Visible on Home Screen".

The app is now installed in secret!

Step 9: Start Monitoring!

With uMobix installed on your child‘s device, you can login to your parent dashboard from any web browser.

The dashboard will display real-time data on your kid‘s phone activities. You‘ll see:

• Messages in Whatsapp, SMS, Snapchat, Instagram

• Call logs with durations and recordings

• Web browsing history and bookmarks

• Location history with route tracking

• App usage by day/week

• Screenshots and media files

• Device vitals like battery and storage

Make sure to spend time setting up parental controls like time limits, location boundaries, app blocking, and alerts.

And that‘s it – you can now monitor your child‘s phone use with powerful protection.

Troubleshooting Issues with uMobix

In rare cases, you may encounter issues getting uMobix to work properly on Android. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Double check all app permissions were granted during installation.

• Ensure the device has an active internet connection for the app to send data.

• Turn off battery optimizations for uMobix so it can run in the background.

• Restart the phone and check the dashboard – sometimes a reboot helps.

• Reinstall uMobix using the APK if problems continue.

You can also contact uMobix‘s stellar customer support. They‘re always happy to help parents with technical difficulties.

Uninstalling and Reinstalling uMobix

If you ever need to remove uMobix from your child‘s device, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Apps, find uMobix and select Uninstall

• Delete the app to fully remove it

• Check that the icon is gone from the home screen

To reinstall, simply download the latest APK file from your dashboard and repeat the process. In minutes, you‘ll be back monitoring your child‘s activities.

The great thing about uMobix is that it can be installed and removed remotely – no need for physical access to the device.

How Does uMobix Compare to Other Apps?

Before selecting uMobix, I tried a few other monitoring apps. Here‘s how uMobix stacks up against the competition:

App	SMS	Social Media	Call Logs	Web History	Location
uMobix	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Spyzie	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
mSpy	Yes	Limited	Yes	Yes	Yes
Spyine	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes

As you can see, uMobix has the most robust feature set including full social media monitoring. The monthly plans are also reasonably priced relative to competitors.

Expert Tips for Discussing Monitoring with Your Kid

I recommend having an open conversation with your child before installing monitoring software. Here are some tips:

• Explain your concerns and desire to keep them safe online

• Emphasize that you aren‘t invading their privacy but protecting them

• Clarify what activities you‘ll be monitoring and establish shared ground rules

• Make it clear the monitoring is born out of love not mistrust

• Get their input on fair limitations on phone use

• Consider incentives for positive behaviors like displaying responsibility

• Reassure them that as trust builds, monitoring can be reduced

• Be transparent about your actions – hiding use of the app can damage your relationship when eventually discovered

Approached appropriately, your child may see monitoring as helpful for avoiding online dangers versus an invasion of privacy. But have realistic expectations – no kid wants a digital babysitter!
