Findy support centre
Everything we can tell you about setting Findy up, reading what it shows you, and what to do when a result is unclear. Where the honest answer is "Findy cannot do that", the article says so.
Findy is an inspection aid, not professional counter-surveillance equipment. No mobile app can guarantee detection of every hidden camera, microphone, tracker or recording device. Most of what these articles teach you is how to tell an ordinary television from something genuinely worth checking. Read how each method works.
Setting up
Getting started and permissions
Supported devices, your first inspection, and why Findy asks for camera, local network, Bluetooth and location access — one reason per permission.
Subscriptions, refunds and restoring
What is free, what Findy Pro adds, how to cancel through Apple, how refunds actually work, and how to restore a purchase on a new device.
Reading your results
Understanding your results
What "unidentified device" means, why hotels show hundreds of devices, and plain answers to what Findy cannot see: other networks, powered-off equipment and passive microphones.
False positives and innocent causes
Screws that glint, remote controls that emit infrared, printers on the network, magnets in phone cases — and how to separate all of that from something worth investigating.
Getting in touch
Contact and bug reports
How to reach the developer, what to include so a bug can actually be fixed, and how to report an incorrect detection or a security issue.
