Bouns: Is There A Way of Viewing the Hidden Photos & Videos?

Yes, there's a way by which you can view someone's hidden and private media remotely from their smartphone, through the use of spyware software such as KidsGuard Pro for iPhone and KidsGuard Pro for Android.

KidsGuard Pro doesn't offer a complete solution for viewing the images in vault applications. Still, it allows you to monitor the user's smartphone media and activities they perform on their smartphone.

Features of KidsGuard Pro for Android:

Check Photos & Videos:

The KidsGuard Pro for Android allows you to monitor and view all the images stored in the user's smartphone before moving them to the vault.

In this way, you can easily view their personal and private media. As soon as the media lands on their smartphone's storage, KidsGuard Pro for Android will capture it and send it to your dashboard.

View Social Media:

KidsGuard Pro for Android also offers the social media tracking of more than ten social media apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, KIK, QQ, Instagram, Tinder, and many other social media apps. It allows you to track the media and text messages made on those applications.

Set the Geofence to restrict the user's smartphone from crossing that boundary. If they cross that boundary, KidsGuard Pro for Android will send you the notification, and it works in real-time through GPS.

Why Need to Check Hidden Pictures & Videos

Here are the three reasons why you need to check hidden images and videos:

If it's a kid, it's compulsory to see what they are hiding from you. It may be possible that the media they're hiding from you may not be suitable for them, so it's better to keep a look at their personal and private media.

If it's your spouse, it's better to see what's going on in their vault to clear up the doubts. And you'll not be betrayed by them.

If it's your employee, you might want to check what they are hiding from your company. It may be a business secret or anything necessary for your business.

Conclusion

Today, smartphone privacy is one of the essential things that everyone deserves in their smartphone. However, in some instances, such as your kids, spouse, and employees, it becomes compulsory to break their privacy for the better of both.

That's why we brought you KidsGuard Pro, which allows you to view anyone's hidden images and videos remotely without notifying them that you're spying on them, so you will not harm your relationship.
