The reason? Well, you can imagine the answer for yourself. Boyfriends, children, wives, husbands… each category of users has their own “good reasons” for wanting to spy on   another person’s WhatsApp messages .

On the web there is a lot of information of different types, but let’s try to clarify it. Spying on WhatsApp conversations is not difficult , but you need to know how to do it.

In this other article we have seen which are the best apps to spy on Whatsapp that allow you to also have access to GPS information, calls and more. Now we will see two methods to spy on WhatsApp from a PC and how  to defend yourself.

In fact, remember that spying on conversations on WhatsApp is  illegal  but that, on the other hand, it is good to know these techniques to know how to defend yourself from possible attacks.

The first method that we will see involves the use of Mac Spoofing (for the more geeks), the second of WhatsApp Web (simpler).

Let’s start.

Spying messages on WhatsApp from PC for free with the Mac Spoofing technique

This method of  spying on another person’s WhatsApp messages has some steps that may appear complex. In reality, there is nothing that complicated. Just follow the individual steps precisely and everything will be successful. Anyone can use the Mac Spoofing spying technique .

NB The Mac Spoofing technique works on both Apple iOS and Android smartphones.

Before we begin ...

What Does Mac Spoofing Mean?

Let’s break down the two terms to analyze their meaning:

Mac: stands for Media Access Control , a security code made up of letters and numbers. Each mobile phone has its own, different from that of any other. Also called physical address or Ethernet / LAN address.

Spoofing: is a form of the verb “spoof” which in English means “to spy”

So… Mac Spoofing indicates a spying method that takes place thanks to Media Access Control.

How to use the Mac Spoofing technique

Let’s see, now, what are the basic steps to read another user’s conversations on WhatsApp with this method. First, we need:

1. Our mobile on which we have installed WhatsApp
2. The cell phone of the person we want to spy on (it only takes 2 minutes)

At this point, the first step is to recover the Mac Addresses of both our device and that of the person we want to spy on, and pin it on a sheet.

The code we need will have a structure like this: 06: B3: 92: F4: 34: ac .

• To find the Mac Address on iPhone: go to Settings> General> Info> Wi-Fi Address
• To find the Mac Address on Android: go to Settings> About phone> Status> Wi-Fi MAC address

If the mobile phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi line , however, the Mac Address can be found directly from a PC or Mac:

• On Windows: click on the computer icon for the connection (bottom right next to the date). Click on “Open Network and Sharing Center”. Go to “Change adapter settings”. Then click with the right mouse button on the icon of the network card you are interested in. Go to “Status”. Click on “Details”. The Mac Address corresponds to the code next to the item “Physical address”.
• On OS X / Mac (the Apple operating system, not to be confused with the Mac Address): go to System Preferences> Network> Advanced> Hardware. The Mac Address is the first information you find in the window.

At this point you have to follow the following steps:

1. Uninstall WhatsApp from our mobile
2. Change our Mac Address with that of the person we want to spy on (to do this there are some applications. On iPhone we recommend WifiSpoof, on Android the app is called Busy Box)
3. Re-install WhatsApp on our mobile phone, being careful to enter the phone number of the person to be spied on when requested
4. Ask for the activation code via SMS (ATTENTION! The code will be sent to the cell phone of the person we want to spy on. We must therefore have the phone, write down the code and then delete the message to avoid being discovered)
5. Re-set the original Mac Address on our mobile phone

If all the steps have been performed correctly, opening WhatsApp will automatically display all the messages, photos and videos of the person we are spying on.

One question remains: how to defend yourself?

Spying on messages on WhatsApp is not legal, and this site discloses all its information for informational purposes only, denying any liability for any illegal use. However, it is always good to think about defending yourself from any malicious people. To do this, we recommend that you: do not entrust your mobile phone to others and do not connect your smartphone to Wi-Fi lines of suspicious homes.

Spy on PC messages with WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp introduced in 2015 WhatsApp Web , the service to use the application directly on a PC or Mac. This, however, also introduced a great risk for the security of users. In fact, spying on messages is very simple.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Take possession of the phone of the person you want to control for a few seconds.
2. Access the WhatsApp Web service from the official website  on your PC
3. Scan the QrCode with the victim’s phone.

Once logged in, you remain logged in until you log out .

So, just return the phone and leave the PC on (perhaps with the Google Chrome window minimized, to avoid being discovered). From that moment on, all the conversations that the victim makes on a mobile phone will be displayed on your PC.

This technique is also illegal, and is reported here for informational purposes only.

To defend yourself, we recommend that you: do not entrust your mobile phone to others, even for a few seconds in your absence.
