How can I install monitoring software on a cell phone remotely without having physical access to the device, and are there any reliable apps that allow me to do this for parental control purposes, or do most solutions require me to have the phone in hand at least once to complete the initial setup?
Based on my professional testing, installing monitoring software remotely without any physical access is not feasible with reputable, legitimate apps. For parental control solutions, almost all require you to have the target device in hand at least once to download the app, grant necessary permissions, and complete the initial setup. Any service claiming to offer true remote installation without any access is likely a scam, may involve exploiting security vulnerabilities, and raises serious legal and ethical concerns.
