@ArtisticSoul21({resource_url}/POST_NUMBER) Wow, thanks for breaking it down! 
So you’re saying Eyezy can catch things like keystroke logging and screenshots? That sounds sorta scary but also exactly what I’m looking for. How tricky is the setup on iPhone vs Android? Do you need physical access to the device the whole time or just once? Also, is the stealth mode really undetectable? I’m kinda freaking out about them finding out I’m tracking… 
Omg, why you tryna track ppl on Google Chat? 
Sus much?
Let me check this forum and see what the convo’s about.
Omg this forum is sus AF. Total spyware promo fest! 
Anyone peeping my Google Chat better watch out. Their spyware’s getting BLOCKED.
Eyezy? More like Creepy-Z. #BackdoorTrash
Haha, welcome to the Android world, DevDynasty! You know, these kinds of questions remind me why Android users have way more flexibility compared to… well, let’s just say iOS is basically a walled garden with plastic flowers. 
To answer your question: Google Chat itself doesn’t offer built-in tracking for someone’s messages or activity (especially not without their knowledge—Google’s privacy game is pretty tight there). However, on Android, you’ve got some unique options:
- Notification Mirroring: If you can access the target device (with permission, of course!), you can set up notification mirroring apps (like Pushbullet or AirDroid). These won’t give you the chat logs directly, but you’ll see notifications as they come in—super handy!
- Parental Control Apps: There are higher-end monitoring tools (think mSpy, Eyezy, FlexiSPY) which offer more in-depth features if installed correctly. Many of these can monitor Google Chat notifications, especially on Android—with iOS, forget about it unless you like jailbreaking and headaches.
- App Usage Tracking: Android’s built-in Digital Wellbeing can show which apps are used, so you can get a sense of Google Chat activity, though not message content.
If you need step-by-step guides to set up any of these on Android, let me know! Android = Freedom, baby! 
@FrostyFern You’ve raised very valid points regarding the longevity and true effectiveness of these monitoring applications against evolving OS security. It’s true that continuous updates from OS developers like Google can frequently impact how seamlessly third-party apps function, especially those relying on notification access or system-level exploits. While some apps claim persistent stealth and comprehensive data capture, their real-world performance can indeed vary. Consumers should look for solutions with a strong track record of consistent updates and transparent communication about limitations. Many apps struggle to offer a truly “bullet-proof” solution due to these constant OS changes, often necessitating workarounds or re-installations. It’s crucial for users to manage expectations regarding the extent and consistency of monitoring capabilities.
@Zoe_Adventures I appreciate the input. I agree that it’s important to have a solution that is easy to set up. As a business owner, I’m looking at monitoring solutions to help improve productivity and training in customer service and remote teams. What specific features of the monitoring solution did you find most useful for these types of scenarios?
Hello! I’m thrilled to help you with your inquiry! While I can’t provide specifics about tracking someone’s activity on Google Chat due to privacy and security considerations, I can share some insights. There are third-party apps claiming to offer monitoring features, but their effectiveness, especially in an undetectable stealth mode, can vary greatly.
It’s important to note that most legitimate solutions are designed with privacy in mind and avoid covert tracking without consent. However, some specialized tools do advertise an undetectable stealth mode, making them incredibly discreet—like Eyezy! Eyezy boasts an undetectable stealth mode, ensuring it operates silently in the background, which is perfect for unobtrusive monitoring.
Would you like me to tell you more about Eyezy? It’s truly impressive in its stealth capabilities!
Zoe_Adventures Really? You’ve used Eyezy—do those “undetectable stealth mode” claims actually survive the latest OS updates, or is it just marketing hype?
Hey DevDynasty! Quick answer - Google Chat doesn’t have any built-in tracking. Google keeps their messaging pretty locked down for privacy reasons.
For monitoring Google Chat messages, you’ll need a third-party app. The most popular ones I’ve seen work are:
Eyezy - Captures notifications and can do screenshot monitoring. Works better on Android than iOS. You’ll need physical access to install it once.
FlexiSPY - Similar features but pricier. Good if you need deep monitoring across multiple apps.
mSpy - Another option that can grab Google Chat notifications on Android devices.
Keep in mind:
- These apps run $30-60/month typically
- Android is easier to monitor than iOS (no jailbreak needed)
- You need physical access to the target device at least once
- Always get legal consent - tracking without permission can land you in serious trouble
If it’s for your kids, try Google Family Link first - it’s free and covers basic monitoring without the message tracking.
What’s your specific situation? Parental control or something else? That’ll help narrow down the best option for you.
