Step 1. You need to get target device's MAC, for Android, Settings > About Device > Status and look for Wi-Fi MAC. For iPhone, Settings > General > About and look for Wi-Fi.
Step 2. Make sure your phone and target phone both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, this is very important, then go to the computer to do some operation.
Windows: Go to Network and Sharing Center. Go to Change Adapter Settings. Then right click on the NIC icon you are interested in. Click Status, then click Details. The MAC address matches the code of the physical address.
Mac computer: System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Hardware. The first message available in the window is the Mac address.
Step 3. Uninstall WhatsApp on your phone > Change your MAC address to the same MAC address as the target device with the app WifiSpoof for iPhone or BusyBox for Android > Reinstall WhatsApp > Verify verification code activation > Reset the original MAC address on the phone
If the operation is successful, then you can also get all the information of WhatsApp on the target phone. This method is applicable to the rooted Android phone and the jailbroken iPhone.
Free Whatsapp tracker - WhatsApp Web. This method uses WhatsApp QR code scanning to synchronize the WhatsApp Web with the WhatsApp information on the mobile terminal. This is just playing petty tricks.
You can secretly take the QR code scanning function of the target phone's WhatsApp, and scan the QR code of WhatsApp Web on the PC to log in synchronously.
This method is easy to expose because the status bar of the target phone displays the current activation notification for WhatsApp Web. Once the target phone exceeds a certain distance, the synchronization will be automatically disconnected.
In addition to the above methods, you can also spy WhatsApp with third-party spyware - KidsGuard Pro. Of course, the software here is for legal use only. Please don't violate the local laws while using this spy app for Android. Or else, please bear the consequences by yourself.
