What is SWATracking?
SwaTracking is a cell phone tracking and monitoring application system created by Sohail Waris Awan exclusively for Android cell phones and tablets. As the name suggests it is absolutely free and it will remain free! There are no taxes, hidden fees and no credit card required to use this service.
This is the world's first Free Android Monitoring and Tracking Application.
After you install this application on the target device, either cell phone or tablet, you will be able to view their location history or their current GPS location. Look through their photos and videos, monitor their entire contact book, which applications are installed on the device, detailed device information and more.
Even though this is a free service we release regular updates and improvements. We also offer Live Chat Support as well as Email support.
How does SWATracking work?
Once the application is installed on a cell phone or tablet it will start to collect data from the device. And, on regular intervals it tries to upload this data to your Private Area. The SWATracking Private Area is the website in which you can securely access your data as many times as you wish, any time. For more information on the Private Area, please refer to the "Working with the Private Area" section in the FAQs.
The application works completely invisible and cannot be seen by the user of the phone. When FreeAndroidSpy is uploading your data to your Private Area all communications are secured by the industry standard SSL/TLS and the data remains encrypted, hence no one else except you has access to your data.
Usually the application will not drain the battery and it will use up to 3% of it.
