2. On the next page, select the View all software option.

With this, the app is installed on the target phone, and now it’s time to go back to your device for tracking the keystrokes of the target person remotely.
How To Install Keylogger On iPhone?
The steps to install a keylogger app on the iPhone are similar to that of Android as you have seen above. However, you have to jailbreak the iPhone in order to install FlexiSPY on it. The reason is that you cannot install spyware or keylogger on an iOS device if it is not jailbroken.
If you don’t know how to jailbreak an iPhone then you can also purchase an already jailbroken iPhone with FlexiSPY pre-installed on it using the FlexiSPY Express service.
How To Use FlexiSPY Keylogger App On Android & iPhone
Once the Keylogger is installed on the target device, you will initially land on the FlexiSPY dashboard. And for monitoring the Keylogger activity, you have to switch to the Key Logs section of the app.
As you can see in the screenshot, all the keystrokes are systematically arranged app-wise. This prevents you from missing important keystrokes.
By clicking on any of the apps, you will see all the words typed by your spouse in that app. As you can see, with all the keystrokes, you have the date and time stamp attached. This will help you in knowing the time when your spouse is most active on a particular app.
As for FlexiSPY, the app gives instant updates and the tracking of keywords is complete. So we would suggest you buy a Keylogger app that works similarly to FlexiSPY, or you can purchase FlexiSPY too.
For better monitoring of the typed words, some apps also give the Alerts feature. Using these features, you will get immediate notification if a word set by you is ever typed by the teen.
Under the Alerts features of FlexisSPY, you have to go to the Keywords section and include all the words for which you want the notifications. These words could include drugs, date, dating, idiot, and so on. Tap on Add Alert to save the changes.
Now, whenever your loved ones use any of those words, you will be the first one to know about them.
How To Install A Keylogger On Someone’s Computer?
To guide you through the installation process of Keylogger for Windows PC, we will be using a different app that comes by the name Spyrix. By the way, Spyrix is the best Windows Keylogger that is free to use.
Let’s see how to put a keylogger on Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC.
1. First things first, you need to go to the Spyrix website and create your account on it. You just need to provide your email and create a new password for your account and voila! your account is created.
2. Now once the account is created you can download the free version of the app. The free version of Spyrix Keylogger can’t be hidden on the target device. So if you want discreet monitoring and don’t want the target person to find the keylogger on Windows then you have to purchase the app.
3. Next, you must install the Spyrix software on the target computer. Once you have launched the software, it will prompt you to enter your email address for remote monitoring of the target PC. This email will be used to receive the recorded keylogger and screenshot data.
4. On the following screen, you will be asked to create an online monitoring account by providing your email and password. This account will be used to log in to your Spyrix dashboard to monitor activities remotely. You may choose to skip this step, but it is not recommended.
5. After that, you must select the “I accept the agreement” option and click “Next” to install the software.
6. Once the installation is complete, click “Finish” to end the installation process. A new Setup Wizard will then open, allowing you to choose whether to hide the software on the target PC and change the screenshot quality.
7. Add your email for online monitoring when prompted. If you have already added your email during installation, simply click “Next.”
8. Next, you will be asked when the program should take a screenshot and what the quality of the screenshot should be. You can select to take a screenshot when the window or clipboard changes, and adjust the slider to change the screenshot quality.
9. Lastly, you may choose to hide the software on the target computer to monitor it without the user’s knowledge. However, the hide option is only available in the paid version of Spyrix Personal Monitor.
How To Use A Keylogger On Computer With Spyrix?
To use the Keylogger on the computer, you need to go to your Spyrix account and on the dashboard, click on the Keyboard events option. Under this section, you will be able to read the recorded keystrokes made on the target computer.
In my test, I found that even after being a free keylogger software, it was able to record each and every keystroke pressed on the target computer. Moreover, the time it takes to sync the recorded keystrokes to your account was minimal.
Apart from just typed words, Spyrix was also able to track keystrokes such as Backspace, Enter, and Spacebar. In addition to that, it even shares with you the source on which the keystroke was made along with the timestamp.
Overall, for a free keylogger, Spyrix performs exceptionally well and provides you with the ability to put a keylogger on someone’s computer without paying any fees.
If you are looking to keylog your own PC then the free version of the app is sufficient because you don’t have to hide it on your computer. However, if want to install a keylogger on someone’s computer then I would recommend that you go with the paid version of the software because you have to hide the app on their computer which is only possible with the paid plan of the app.
How To Keylog Someone’s Computer or Phone? Final Verdict
This was the basic installation process for setting up a Keylogger app on an Android phone and Windows PC.
These steps will surely help you install any keylogger app, but definitely, the installation for each app is going to be a bit different.
Not just the installation part but also the working of the Keylogger is different for every app.
Some apps like FlexiSPY and Spyrix give immediate and accurate results, and on the other hand, some apps give incomplete and late results.
So while purchasing a Keylogger, make sure it works perfectly.
