Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Updates & Compatibility

How updates work, what compatibility means for your setup, and how to stay current.

Updates are delivered through your dashboard. When a new version is available, you'll see a prompt in the control panel. For Android, the updated APK is downloaded and installed on the supervised device through the dashboard's remote update option — no physical access to the device is typically required.

In most cases, no. Compatibility updates are released alongside or shortly after major Android OS versions — as listed in these release notes. Your existing installation continues to function. However, certain features (particularly call recording) may be affected by OS-level restrictions introduced in newer Android releases. We document any feature limitations in the relevant compatibility entry.

Starting with Android 10, Google introduced OS-level restrictions on third-party access to call audio. This restriction applies to all monitoring and recording applications, not just TheOneSpy. VoIP call recording (WhatsApp, Skype, etc.) uses a different mechanism and remains available on supported Android versions.

We release maintenance and enhancement updates as needed — typically several times per year. Compatibility updates for major OS releases are prioritised and published within a short period of the OS becoming publicly available.

Yes. Dashboard data — logs, screen session clips, and reports — is stored server-side and is unaffected by app updates on the supervised device.

The dashboard displays a notification when a new app version is available for your supervised device. You can also subscribe to update notifications through your account settings. This release notes page is updated each time we ship a significant change.

Mac and Windows updates are managed through the dashboard. You'll be notified when a new version is available. Automatic updates can be enabled in your account settings, depending on your plan.

Use the support section at theonespy.com/support or contact the support team directly. Feature requests can also be submitted through the feedback channel in your dashboard account.
