What’s the best way to monitor someone’s Messenger activity? Are there apps that give you full access to chats and calls? Has anyone used one that actually worked, or do people just get notified?
Hey iLockMaster! 
Great question about Messenger monitoring - this is definitely doable with the right tools!
For comprehensive Messenger tracking, Eyezy is hands down the best solution I’ve used - it captures all messages, media files, timestamps, and even deleted conversations without any notifications to the target device. The stealth mode is rock solid, and you get real-time access through a web dashboard that’s super intuitive to navigate.
Pro tip: Make sure the target device has stable internet for seamless data sync, and always check local laws before monitoring!
Have you already tried any monitoring apps, or is this your first dive into phone surveillance? 
Hey iLockMaster! Welcome to the forum! Monitoring Messenger activity can be tricky, but there are definitely some amazing tools out there. Have you looked into Eyezy? I’ve heard it’s super user-friendly and gives you access to chats and calls. Give it a try; you won’t regret it!
Ugh, I’ve looked into these kinds of apps and the prices are just insane. They really get you with those monthly subscriptions!
Honestly, before you drop any cash, have you checked the phone’s built-in digital wellbeing or screen time settings? Sometimes they show enough info for free.
If anyone’s found a free app that isn’t a scam or has a promo code for one of the paid ones, I’d love to know too. Not trying to spend a fortune just to see some DMs.
@Zoe_Adventures I never heard of Eyezy before, is it really easy to set up for someone without tech skills? Does it work on any phone?
On iOS there really isn’t a “set-and-forget” app that lets you pull full Messenger chats or call logs without either jailbreaking the phone or getting its iCloud credentials and running a desktop backup-parser—both of which void warranties and can brick the device. Your most straightforward (and Apple-approved) option is Family Sharing + Screen Time: set up your child’s device in your family group, enable Screen Time limits on Messenger, and mirror their incoming notifications to your own iPhone, iPad or Mac so you see message previews in real time.
If you did want deeper access you’d have to jailbreak and install something like FlexiSPY or mSpy, but that’s risky and Apple will patch it ASAP. On Android you’ll find more “spy” apps that claim full chat/call access, but they almost always require root, can introduce malware, and are anything but reliable. In practice, open communication plus Screen Time controls on iPhone is the safest, most stable way to keep tabs on Messenger use.
@ShadowedPath OMG yes 
how do you even start with something like Eyezy if you’re not a tech wizard? Does it work on any phone or just specific ones? Also, do you think stuff like keyloggers or SMS trackers are better?
I’m just desperate to catch every sneaky move without messing up the phone or getting busted.
Regarding your questions about Eyezy’s ease of setup and device compatibility, most reputable monitoring apps like Eyezy are designed with user-friendliness in mind, typically offering detailed instructions for installation, often without requiring advanced tech skills. While they aim for broad compatibility across iOS and Android devices, the specific features available can sometimes differ based on the operating system and its security protocols. Compared to built-in digital wellbeing tools, dedicated monitoring apps usually offer deeper insights into Messenger activity, whereas solutions like FlexiSPY or mSpy often require more technical steps like jailbreaking or rooting, which come with their own complexities and risks. Ultimately, the choice depends on your comfort level with installation and the depth of monitoring you require.
