The Update Interval specifies how often SPY24 is connected to our server and transfers information directly to your Control Panel. When manually adjusting Update Interval from your account, please note that short update intervals (less than 10 min) may consume considerable battery life. Please, be informed that sometimes it can take up to 24 hours to receive all updates, especially if the phone constantly uses 3G/4G connection which is not very stable and always depends on signal strength.
