There are many perfectly legitimate reasons that you might want to track a cell phone. It could be to help protect your child online, make sure employees are sticking to the task or find out if your partner is cheating.
In this article, we will give you five ways to track a cell phone without them knowing.
Spylix is a powerful spy app that enables you to spy on a cell phone without the user knowing. It is the best spy app in the market and supports 40 data types so you can closely monitor all cell phone activity on the target device.

Step 1: First you will need to get an active Spylix account. Go to spylix.com to sign up and set your login details.
Step 2: Sync the target device with your Spylix account. If the target device is iOS and you know the Apple ID and password, you can track the phone without even touching it provided that iCloud syncing is enabled. Go to your Spylix dashboard and enter the cell phone number and Apple credentials to start tracking the phone. We recommend trying this method first.
Step 3: If you're unable to sync with the device because iCloud syncing is not enabled, you will need to find a time when you can access the phone. This also applies if the target device is on Android. When you have the phone, you should be able to set everything up to track it in less than five minutes. Open your Spylix account on the target device and download the Spylix app. You will only need to do this once.
After setting up Spylix on the target device, login to your Spylix account from your own phone or laptop to see your dashboard and start to track the cell phone in secret.

Every cell phone has a unique IMEI number that can be found behind the battery and is also written on the box the device comes in. IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. The IMEI is different from the SIM and cannot be changed so you can use it to track the location of a cell phone using your own device as long as you know the IMEI number.
This method is not always entirely accurate but will give you a good indication of where the device is. However, it will only provide the current location of the phone and does not store historical data.
To start tracking a cell a cell phone using the IMEI number you will need to have access to the target device and follow these steps:
Step 1: Find ‘IMEI Tracker’ in app store and download ‘IMEI Tracker-Find My device’.
Step 2: Tap ‘Install’.
