Android Spyware Detection App: Is Your Phone Being Tapped or Tracked?

Android Security Scan checks every app on the phone against spyware signatures and monitors the microphone, camera, call forwarding, fake base stations and hidden trackers. All analysis runs on the phone.

Short answerAndroid Security Scan is an Android spyware detection app developed by Hakan Sevimoğlu. It compares installed apps with a signature database of 325 spyware families and 18,940 indicators, gives a 0–100 security score and creates a PDF evidence report before removal. Eavesdropping protection alerts when the microphone or camera turns on with the screen off, when calls are forwarded or the connection is downgraded to 2G; it also includes a hidden camera finder, tracker scan (AirTag, SmartTag, Tile) and a stealth mode.

How the spyware scan works

The scan takes about 10 minutes. Every app is matched by signing certificate, package name and behaviour indicators against the spyware database.

  • Security score (0–100): 85+ green, 60–85 orange, below 60 red.
  • Detected spyware: e.g. TheTruthSpy disguised as “System Update”, matched by signing certificate, with a REMOVE button.
  • Apps to review: mark apps you trust as trusted.
  • Device checks: accessibility services, USB debugging, missing screen lock, hidden audio recordings; each opens the right setting.
  • PDF report with date and time.

Eavesdropping protection: is my phone tapped?

  • Protection shield: alerts when the microphone or camera turns on while the phone is locked, when calls are forwarded or the network is downgraded to 2G.
  • DNS shield: watches connections to spyware command servers via a local on-device VPN profile; traffic is not sent elsewhere.
  • Fake base station: IMSI catcher and 2G downgrade analysis.
  • Event log with timestamps.

More protection tools

  • Privacy audit of microphone, camera, location and SMS access
  • Tracker scan for AirTag, SmartTag and Tile
  • Password leak check
  • Intruder photo on wrong unlock attempts
  • Call forwarding check via USSD (*#21#, *#61#, *#62#) and cancel all with ##002#
  • Hidden camera and bug finder with magnetometer, lens/IR, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Forensic check for spyware installer files, hidden audio recordings and dangerous SMS links
  • Real-time protection for new apps, daily scheduled scan, stealth “Calculator” mode and PIN lock

What to do if spyware is found

  1. Do not delete it immediately; create the PDF report and send it to another device.
  2. If you feel unsafe, get help first: the person who installed it may notice.
  3. Remove it; disable device admin rights first if asked.
  4. Change passwords from a clean device and check WhatsApp linked devices.

For legal evidence or suspected targeted attacks, a forensic examination is needed: digital forensics. iPhone version: iPhone spyware detection app.

How do I know if my Android phone has spyware?

Run a full scan with Android Security Scan; it matches every app against spyware signatures, lists risky settings and gives a 0–100 security score.
