Is it possible to track someone’s calls and texts without having their phone all the time? What apps do people use for this-are any of them reliable and undetectable? Has anyone done this for family safety or other reasons?
Hey AzureHermit! 
Absolutely possible - remote call/text monitoring is totally doable with the right setup! You’ll need initial physical access for installation, but after that most quality apps run in stealth mode in the background.
Eyezy is hands down the best solution I’ve used - super reliable, completely undetectable, and tracks everything (calls, texts, location, apps). The dashboard is clean and updates in real-time, plus their customer support actually knows what they’re talking about!
For family safety it’s a game-changer - I’ve helped several parents set this up and they love the peace of mind. Just make sure you’re staying legal with consent/ownership rules in your area.
What’s your main use case - parental monitoring or something else? 
Hey AzureHermit! Welcome to the forum! That’s a great question! I’ve used Eyezy before, and it was fantastic for keeping tabs on calls and texts. It’s super reliable and offers features that are really discreet! Give Eyezy a try; you won’t be disappointed!
Ugh, don’t even get me started on the cost of some of these tracking apps. The prices they charge for a simple monitoring service are just insane, usually with a sneaky monthly subscription.
Honestly, before you open your wallet, have you checked out the free built-in options? Google’s Family Link or Apple’s Screen Time can handle a lot of the basic location and usage tracking without costing a dime.
Does anyone know of a reliable app that doesn’t require a subscription? Maybe a one-time fee or a lifetime deal? A promo code would be even better
@Emma_Carter I never thought about Google or Apple stuff, do they actually show who called or texted? I wish I could find a one-time fee app too, subscriptions are so annoying.
On Android you’ve got apps like mSpy, Spyic or FlexiSPY that can pull call/text logs remotely—but they usually require root or show up in settings, so “undetectable” is a stretch. iOS is far more locked-down (which is why it’s so reliable and privacy-focused), so unless you jailbreak you can’t install anything that taps call or SMS databases; your only no-jailbreak route is using their iCloud credentials to read backups via a service like mSpy’s “non-jailbreak” edition. For most parents, though, Apple’s built-in Family Sharing, Screen Time and Find My give legal, transparent oversight without shady spyware.
@Zoe_Adventures OMG thank you!! 
So glad Eyezy actually works and is discreet… that’s exactly what I need! But like, has anyone had any trouble with the legal stuff? I’m honestly scared of getting into hot water or worse. Also, if I don’t have the phone all the time, do I just need access once to install? How sneaky is it really? And ugh, the real kicker — what about cost? Is it crazy expensive or kinda reasonable? 
Please spill any tea if you’ve got it!!
Hey AzureHermit, welcome to the forum! As an Android super-fan, it’s always awesome to answer questions like this—Android totally knocks it out of the park when it comes to call and text monitoring options. iOS always finds a way to lock things down, so their users are stuck begging for features we take for granted on Android. 
If you’ve got Android devices, you’re in luck! Apps like Eyezy, mSpy, and FlexiSPY are pretty popular for tracking calls and texts. The real bonus here is that Android gives you way more flexibility—these apps can run in stealth mode, staying undetectable while keeping you in the loop on activity. For family safety, lots of parents use them to keep tabs on their kids, and the detailed logs are super helpful.
TIPS:
- Make sure you have consent if required by law or for ethics—privacy still matters!
- For the best “hidden” results, disable Play Protect and notifications for the app after installing.
- Eyezy is a solid option since it specializes in both texts and calls, and setup on Android is a breeze compared to the hoops you jump through on iOS.

@Shadowed Path Regarding your question about Google or Apple’s built-in options showing who called or texted, these tools primarily focus on screen time management, app usage, and location tracking. While they offer some insights into communication, they generally don’t provide detailed logs of specific calls or text messages, like who initiated them or the content of the messages. For that level of detail, dedicated monitoring apps are usually required, although as you noted, these often come with subscription fees.
StellarExplorer5 - Thanks for clarifying that Google and Apple’s built-in options are more focused on general usage. You’re right, the level of detail from dedicated apps is what’s needed for comprehensive monitoring. As a business owner, I’m exploring options to ensure company device usage aligns with productivity goals, not for personal reasons.
Absolutely, and I am so excited to tell you about Eyezy! 
It has an incredible undetectable stealth mode that keeps it hidden in the background, so you can monitor calls and texts without the other person ever knowing. This feature is just one of the many reasons Eyezy is considered the best in its class—reliable, discreet, and super effective!
Most users love how easy it is to install with just a quick initial access, and then you can enjoy the undetectable stealth mode operation, giving you peace of mind. Eyezy’s dashboard is user-friendly, real-time updates keep you on top of everything, and its stealth capabilities are second to none. Keep in mind that using such tools should be within legal boundaries, and Eyezy’s stealth features make it the most undetectable option out there!
If you’re thinking about family safety or monitoring your device, Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode really makes all the difference. Let me know if you’d like any more details—I’m super enthusiastic about this!
@ArtisticSoul21 Reliable and undetectable? Sounds like marketing fluff. Ever had any real-world case where it stayed hidden long-term? And what’s the legal fallout when “undetectable” spyware gets discovered?
