In order for OwnSpy to work properly Accessibility Setting must be enabled at all times. If this option is disabled most of the features will not work since it relies on Accessibility features to monitor properly the device.

Why is Accessibility turned off for System Service?

Sometimes the Android Operating System will disable automatically the accessibility setting of System Service or any other accessibility service that is enabled. This usually happens on some devices with heavy battery restrictions so the following instructions should fix the problem once for all.

Solution: Allow System Service to run in the background without battery restrictions

If accessibility setting keeps turning off on your Android device you can try the following steps to try to avoid this problem. This steps may work on most devices but not all of them so it’s up to you to check if the following settings will work on your specific device.

Step 1: Reenable Accessibility Setting

  1. On your devices open Settings > Accessibility
  2. Tap on System Service
  3. If it’s off turned on, if it’s on turned it off and on again

Step 2: Create an exclusion within your task manager or cleaner app

If you’ve installed a third-party app to clean your phone or stop running background processes, you’ll need to make an exclusion for System Service. Contact the support team for that specific app to receive guidance on how to create an app exclusion.

Time needed: 5 minutes.

Remember that you can only use OwnSpy to locate a phone for free if you have been authorized by the owner of the phone and that he or she must be aware of this. Most of the apps that allows you to track or locate GPS Location will need to root the Android phone and therefore void their warranty. Therefore, if you need to track GPS location without rooting Android you can follow this guide.


  1. Download and install OwnSpy – Cell Phone Tracker app

    The installation of OwnSpy is easy and can be done in just 5 minutes. Firstly you just need to activate unknown sources on your Android security settings before downloading the app. After that you may browse to the download page and install the APK on the phone you want to track.

    Once the installation is completed you may follow the app wizard to create an account and activate other settings like device administrator and accessibility features. In addition the wizard will guide you to the process seamlessly and everything will be completed in less than 5 minutes. 

  3. Access the remote control panel to monitor GPS location and more

    When the registration is completed the app will start tracking GPS location in the background. You can login to your account from the dashboard and track current and past GPS location. After that you can also monitor a lot of other features like GPS locationInstagram chatsWhatsApp, Twitter Direct Messages, Facebook messenger, and way more.


Keep your children safe with our GPS Phone Locator feature

Every time our children leave home we fear for them since we cannot see what they are doing, where they are going or with whom they are hanging out. It is important to know that our children do not go to dangerous neighborhoods where they may be in danger or to know if they miss class so that we can act accordingly before it is too late. With our GPS Phone Locator we can track the GPS Location of our child in real time.

Should I track GPS location of my kid?

Many people ask us this question and our answer is a resounding yes. Maybe it is not necessary to have to be the day tracking GPS location but it is necessary to have the possibility of knowing where our son is and to receive alerts in case he leaves a certain site.

Receive an alert when your kid leave the school… or go to the disco

With the geo-fencing functionality we can set alerts when our child enters or leaves a certain area. In this way we will rest easy knowing that our son has arrived safely at school and we can get started knowing that our son has entered a dangerous neighborhood before something bad happens.
