About this app

Are you worried that someone may be Spying on your Device?

Then you should install "WireTap and Spy Removal".

Make sure that the NSA and the FBI are not Tapping your Phone!
(Or your boy/girl-friend, spouse, boss, parents, etc.)

As (probably) the only App currently available, this App will Identify the Apps that are trying to Spy on you! And help you to Uninstall them.

There may be Apps planted on your Device that have the capability to Listen to your Phone Calls, make Voice or Video Recordings, and send them via Internet to an Unknown Receiver. Without your knowledge or consent!

Some Spy Apps may even secretly set up automatic Hidden Phone Calls to or from your Phone, to listen in on you. Hidden Calls are Remotely Controlled and silently set up to or from your Phone, e.g. when you are not using it yourself.

A lot of Apps also Read your GPS Location. This App will Detect them!

Before you want to make a Recording yourself, simply touch a button to DISABLE the App.

If you have a Tablet (without Phone Capabilities), you can use this App in the same way, to Detect attempts to Spy on you by making Audio and Video Recordings.

Nothing could be simpler.

A Status Notification will show when WireTap Removal is Enabled.

Features:

- Enable or Disable "WireTap and Spy Removal"
- There are Five Optional Main Types of WireTap & Spy Detections:
- Detection of Voice/Audio Recordings (also covers the use of VoIP Calls, such as Skype, WiFi Calls, etc)
- Detection of Video Recordings
- Detection of Recording of Phone Calls
- Detection of Hidden Calls (Incoming and/or Outgoing)
- Detection of Reading your GPS or Network Location
- Audio- and/or Visual Warnings can optionally be Enabled and Logged
- A Simple Log will show you all Detected attempts to WireTap your Device
- Selectable Time Interval for Periodic Checking of Recording and Reading of the Location
- Notification when WireTap Removal is Enabled
- Works in the Background - even when the Phone "sleeps" (i.e when the Screen is closed)
- Starts Automatically at Power-On

This Unique App seems to be One Of A Kind.
We have not found any other App with the same capabilities.

Please note that it is only possible to check whether a Voice or Video Recording is Ongoing or not, at the fixed Intervals selected by you, e.g. once per minute, once per 10 minutes, etc. A shorter Period increases the likelihood of detecting a Recording, but the Battery Consumption may increase slightly. So you should find your own compromise between Detection Probability and Battery Consumption.

Detection of Phone Call Recordings is independent of this Checking Period, as it is limited by the Start and End of the Call.

You may optionally verify that the Periodic Recording Checking is working, by enabling a Text Notification each time the Microphone is checked.

Please not that this App will also detect e.g. all Apps which Read your Location. Most of them are NOT Spy Apps - but normal Google Apps - so that you should Whitelist them.

To start with, you will probably mostly be alerted by your own apps, e.g. when you are using a Normal Audio Recording App, or Recording Calls. These are also good for testing this app.

FAQ: When I use e.g. a Recording App, this app sounds and shows a Warning. What can I do to avoid that?

Answer: Before you use one of your own Apps (E.g. Recording, VoIP Call, Maps, Navigator, etc) you should DISABLE "WireTap and Spy Removal". Or WHITELIST your App that causes the Warning.

When you have a question, please check the FAQs section of the App (found at the Setting page).
