About this app

Find hidden spy apps and take control of your phone's privacy. Anti Spy Detector is a spyware detector and antispyware app for Android. Scan for spyware, stalkerware, keyloggers and unwanted monitoring software. See which app was detected, understand the finding and decide what to remove.

Start with free manual scans in this anti spyware app. Pro adds real-time protection and automatic background scans. No ads, no advertising IDs and no third-party tracking SDKs.

WHEN A DEVICE CHECK MAKES SENSE
• You installed an unfamiliar app or downloaded software outside Google Play.
• You want to review the apps on a second-hand phone or after lending your device.
• You notice an unfamiliar app or unexpected permissions and want a clearer picture.

These situations do not prove spying. If an abusive person may be monitoring you, seek help from a safer device before scanning, changing settings or removing apps; those actions can alert them.

WHAT ANTI SPY LOOKS FOR
• Known spyware and surveillance tools in installed apps.
• Stalkerware used to monitor someone without their consent.
• Hidden or disabled spy apps, including apps without a visible launcher icon.
• Malicious apps used to monitor text messages or GPS location.
• Keyloggers, banking Trojans, backdoors and potentially unwanted apps.

Run a focused malware scan for software that can put messages, passwords or location information at risk. An unfamiliar name or a sensitive permission alone does not make an app malicious.

SEE THE RESULT. YOU DECIDE.
Anti Spy identifies the detected app and explains the risk. Review the finding before uninstalling. Android may ask for confirmation or require you to switch off device administrator access first. For spyware removal, act on the identified app rather than deleting files at random. Scan again after removal to check the result.

WHY KEEP ANTI SPY ON YOUR PHONE?
A manual scan checks your phone when you start it. New apps and updates can change what is installed. With Free, run another check when something changes. Pro adds real-time protection and automatic background scans between your own checks. A scan with no detections is useful information. Review app permissions and keep Android updated alongside your scans.

SIGNATURES AND AI
Anti Spy uses threat signatures to identify known spyware. Its advanced protection features combine signature matching with AI-supported analysis through Protectstar Dual Engine and Deep Detective™. Protectstar AI CLOUD also supports the Free Edition; Pro includes enhanced cloud features. Keep the app and detection data updated.

CHOOSE YOUR EDITION
• Free: manual, signature-based spyware scans. No root or Protectstar account required.
• Pro: real-time protection, AI-supported detection and automatic background scans.
• Government Edition: Pro features plus Heuristic Deep Scan for additional analysis.
Pro and Government require a paid upgrade. Check the price, billing period and any trial conditions in Google Play before purchase.

TESTS AND VALIDATION
AV-TEST, January 2024, Anti Spyware 6.0: 99.8% real-time protection against Android malware attacks and 100% detection of widespread Android malware.
Protectstar reports DEKRA MASA L1 (Verified Self) validation of version 6.7.5 dated February 20, 2026. It assesses a limited set of OWASP MASVS app-security requirements, not detection rates.

PRIVACY WITHOUT AD TRACKING
We build protection, not surveillance. No ads, advertising IDs or third-party tracking SDKs. The privacy policy and Google Play Data safety section explain data processing for the service.

Anti Spy checks software, not physical trackers or hidden cameras. No scanner rules out every threat. Start your spyware scan and choose the protection that suits you.

Really glad I found this app. I'd been wondering for a while whether standard antivirus actually catches spyware and stalkerware, and apparently a lot slips through — this is built specifically for that. Scan is one tap and took less than a minute on my phone. No ads and it doesn't touch your personal data, which is rare for security apps these days. It's also certified by AV-TEST and DEKRA, which gives me a bit more confidence. Definitely recommend it if you want.

I have used this security app for 4 years WITHOUT AN ISSUE! It has protected me all that time, and on at least 3 occasions over the years has flagged up malware downloaded via Play Store! Plenty of fake reviews which is unfortunately standard across Play Store these days. Anti Spy is effective security and anti malware, it works, and that's all that matters.

my tablets apps keeps freezing up or not working at all like I have a virus. loading very slow. and I have both your malware and spyware apps. it says it ok but I know better. I'm paying a subscription but if it's not going to work then I'm canceling it and getting a better company. you apps do not do what you claim. I've had them for a long time and my device gets slower and the apps won't load right. it lags when typing and going to diffrent screens. it's a brand new tablet. I'm done 😠
