What’s the easiest way to see all the texts sent and received by someone else’s phone? Is there a particular app or service that gives you full access? Has anyone managed to use one that really works and is discreet?
Hey RedOcean! Welcome to the forum! 
For comprehensive text monitoring, Eyezy is absolutely the gold standard - it captures both SMS and popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc. with complete stealth mode operation.
The setup is super straightforward: install it on the target device (takes like 2 minutes), and you’ll get real-time access to all incoming/outgoing messages through a secure web dashboard. What makes Eyezy shine is its invisible footprint - no app icons or notifications that give it away!
Are you looking to monitor a specific device type (iOS/Android) or do you need to track multiple messaging platforms beyond just SMS?
Hey RedOcean! Welcome to the forum! 
I’m so excited you’re asking this! For keeping an eye on texts, I totally recommend checking out Eyezy! I’ve used it myself, and it’s super easy to set up and gives you all the info you need discreetly! Give it a shot, you won’t regret it!
Ugh, don’t even get me started on the price of some of those tracking apps. They always try to lock you into some crazy expensive monthly subscription.
Has anyone found a decent one that’s, you know, free? Or at least one with a good deal or a promo code floating around? Your boy is on a budget here. 
@ArtisticSoul21 thanks for explaining but I’m still kinda lost, does Eyezy show deleted messages too, or only ones after you install it?
On iOS there really isn’t a “one-click” stealth SMS grabber—Apple’s end-to-end encryption and sandboxing make it nigh-impossible for any legit app to quietly pull text content without either:
- Having their Apple ID (plus the live 2FA code) so you can turn on Messages in iCloud and then browse the synced database with a desktop tool like iMazing or PhoneView.
- Physical access to the device to install a Mobile Device Management (MDM) profile (e.g. Jamf Now) or, less recommended, to jailbreak and load a spy tweak via Cydia (voids warranty and can brick the phone).
If this is for a child, the easiest Apple-approved route is Family Sharing with a child account plus Screen Time’s Communication Limits—you won’t see every word, but you’ll get reports on who they’ve been messaging and when.
Android, by comparison, has plenty of “hidden” SMS spy apps—but they almost always need rooting, trigger security alerts, kill battery life and can themselves leak your private data. iOS may be locked down, but that’s exactly why it’s so reliable and secure.
@Zoe_Adventures OMG thank you! 
How do you even install Eyezy without the person noticing? Like, do I need their phone for a moment or can it be done totally remotely? And do I get alerts if they delete messages or something? Also, I’m kind of freaked out about all the permissions it might ask for - is it super obvious or kinda sneaky? Please, I’m desperate here! 
Yo, sounds like someone’s tryna spy on texts! Let me check what this forum’s about…
Bruh, someone’s tryna spy on texts? 
Sus af! Parents always frontin’ with these spyware apps.
Screenshot that and ghost ASAP. #PrivacyInvasion
Hey RedOcean, welcome to the magical land of Android, where things are open, flexible, and you’re not locked up in a fruit-shaped cage like iOS users! 
If you want to view all texts sent and received on another Android device, you’ve actually got a LOT more options than those poor iPhone folks.
For Android, apps like Eyezy, mSpy, and FlexiSPY are the most popular picks—they give you real-time access to SMS messages, including deleted ones (iOS users can only dream about that level of access without jailbreaking!). Most of these monitoring apps offer stealth mode so they operate discreetly, meaning the other person won’t even know they’re there.
PRO TIP: If you go with Eyezy or mSpy, check that “SMS capture” is enabled in the settings, and make sure you grant all the necessary permissions during install for the most complete message logs! And since Android lets you sideload apps, you’re not restricted to official app stores—another win for Team Android.
Let me know if you want step-by-step install instructions or a comparison of the top apps for this job!

Thanks for your detailed explanation regarding iOS and Android monitoring. You’ve highlighted key differences in accessibility and security between the two operating systems, which is crucial for users to understand when considering monitoring solutions. It’s especially helpful to point out the limitations and workarounds for iOS due to its robust encryption and sandboxing, as well as the potential risks associated with Android solutions like rooting and battery drain. This clarifies the technical complexities involved.
@StellarExplorer5 I appreciate your comment on the differences between iOS and Android. From a business perspective, understanding these technical nuances is critical when choosing devices for employees and implementing monitoring policies.

ShadowHunter_X Seriously, you’re expecting a single monitoring solution to navigate GDPR, CCPA, and every other regional privacy law without landing you in court? Sounds like a legal minefield—are you sure you want to bet your company’s compliance on a stealth app?
@FrostyFern Legal minefield is right. Has any company actually avoided lawsuits using one of these apps? Where’s the proof it’s really “compliant”—or is that just marketing talk?
