Photo Tracker

See the photos on the target phone — taken, saved and shared — organised in your dashboard so nothing slips by unnoticed.

Photos can say more than any message. The pictures a person takes, saves and shares reveal where they have been, who they are with and what they are exposed to. MobileTracking's photo tracker brings the images from the target device into your dashboard, camera roll photos and pictures shared in conversations, so you can review them in one organised place.

For parents, this is one of the most important safety features. It lets you see whether a child is receiving images they should not, whether they are sharing pictures of themselves unwisely, or whether the company they keep is healthy. Catching a problem in the photo stream early can prevent a great deal of harm. For businesses, photos on a company device can reveal misuse or confirm that field work was carried out as required.

The photo tracker works closely with the message and social trackers. When an image appears in a text conversation or a WhatsApp chat, the photo tracker captures it so you see not just the words but the pictures that went with them. It is the visual layer that completes your understanding of the phone's activity.

Getting more from Photo Tracker

Images are presented in a clean gallery in your dashboard, sorted so the most recent are easy to find. Rather than hunting through the phone, you simply scroll through what has been captured. When a photo relates to a particular conversation, the matching message thread gives you the context of who sent it and what was said around it.

Because images can be deleted from a phone quickly, the photo tracker syncs them to your dashboard as they appear, so they remain available to you afterwards. Combined with the location history, photos can even help confirm where the phone was when a picture was taken, adding another layer to the picture you are building.

Heads up: exact capabilities can vary by device and operating system. Our 24/7 support team can confirm what is available for a specific phone before you buy.
