Limitations
🚫 What Features Are Not Supported (and Why)
The MyPhones Agent app is designed to prioritize safety, privacy, and platform compliance. As a result, certain features are intentionally not supported due to legal, ethical, or technical restrictions.
❌ Clipboard Monitoring
Not supported on Android 10+ due to platform security restrictions.
Clipboard data can contain sensitive user content such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal messages.
Monitoring the clipboard without the user's knowledge is a serious violation of privacy policies.
❌ Keystroke Logging (Keylogger)
Not supported due to privacy and legal risks.
Logging keyboard input can expose highly sensitive information.
Considered a violation of Google Play policy and many international data protection laws.
❌ Remote Screen Viewing or Screen Recording
Not implemented to avoid surveillance-related privacy concerns.
Android restricts real-time screen capture unless explicitly granted the Accessibility or MediaProjection APIs.
Screen recording can easily lead to abuse or overreach in monitoring.
❌ Call Audio Recording
Not supported due to strict telecommunication laws in many countries.
Android has gradually restricted access to call recording APIs.
Recording calls without consent is considered illegal in many jurisdictions.
❌ End-to-End Message Content in Third-Party Apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Messenger)
Not supported due to encryption and lack of official APIs.
Monitoring private conversations in third-party messaging apps is not possible without root access — which MyPhones does not require or use.
MyPhones Agent is built with transparency and consent in mind. We strictly avoid features that could result in covert surveillance or violate user rights.
