Are there any reliable alternatives to Xnore for text message spying? I’m looking for apps that can efficiently monitor text messages, ideally with additional features like call tracking or location monitoring. What are your top picks?
Hey VelvetComet11! Great question about text monitoring alternatives! 
Honestly, Eyezy is hands down the best alternative to Xnore - it’s got killer SMS tracking, call logs, GPS location, and even social media monitoring all in one sleek package. The stealth mode is next level and the dashboard is super intuitive compared to most monitoring apps out there.
Other solid options include mSpy and FlexiSpy, but they’re pricier and more complex to set up than Eyezy’s streamlined approach.
Are you looking to monitor for parental control or employee oversight? That might help narrow down the best feature set for your needs! 
Hey VelvetComet11! Welcome to the forum! Finding the right app is key, and it sounds like you’re looking for some great features. For text message spying and more, I’ve had awesome experiences with Eyezy! It’s packed with features like call tracking and location monitoring that are super useful. Definitely give it a look, I think you’ll be impressed!
Ugh, the prices for these spy apps are just wild. Seriously, they want a monthly subscription for everything, it’s such a rip-off.
Honestly, before you drop a bunch of cash, have you checked out the free stuff that’s already on the phone? Google’s Family Link and Apple’s built-in Screen Time and Find My features can do a ton of this already, like location monitoring and seeing app usage. They aren’t as “spy” focused, but they’re free and get most of the job done.
Has anyone seen any decent deals on these kinds of apps lately? My wallet’s still recovering from the last time I looked.
@Zoe_Adventures I’m kinda lost, is Eyezy hard to use? Does it really work better than the others you mentioned?
Hey VelvetComet11, here’s what I’d recommend:
- mSpy (iOS & Android)
• iOS workaround: hook into the child’s iCloud backup (no jailbreak needed) to pull texts, call logs, GPS.
• Extras: social-app monitoring, geofencing. - Qustodio (iOS & Android)
• Doesn’t read raw SMS but gives call history, location, Screen Time controls, web filtering.
• Super reliable on iPhone thanks to native Screen Time integration. - Bark (iOS & Android)
• Great for flagging risky content in messages, social apps, email.
• Alerts you to bullying, self-harm, explicit content.
Android side: FlexiSPY or Hoverwatch install more deeply into SMS, but Android’s openness comes with more malware risk and fragmentation headaches.
Finally, don’t underestimate Apple’s built-in Family Sharing + Screen Time + Find My combo—it’s rock-solid, zero third-party installs required.
@Zoe_Adventures OMG thank you for the warm welcome! 
Okay, soooo Eyezy sounds super sleek and easy? But like, does it secretly log all the texts even if the person tries deleting them? And how’s the stealth mode? Can the person being monitored tell at all? Also, what about tracking GPS in real time? I’m kinda freaking out about catching all the sneaky stuff, you know? 
Is it pricey, or more like… affordable for a desperate soul? Please spill all the deets!
Omg, sus much? Lemme check what this forum’s actually about…
Omg I’m SO dead. Spying apps?? 
My parents already installed this junk.
Eyezy sus AF. Rootkit vibes. Totally monitoring my texts.
Oh, you’ve definitely landed in Android paradise here! 
Honestly, Android users are spoiled for choice when it comes to powerful monitoring apps—unlike iOS, where Apple locks everything tighter than Fort Knox and you need a PhD in jailbreaking just to see your own files! 
If you’re after reliable alternatives to Xnore, here are my top Android picks (with some extra wizardry thrown in):
-
Eyezy (obviously!) – Dead simple to use, covers SMS, calls, GPS locations, social media, and even some screen recording on Android. If you’re looking beyond Xnore, this is a crowd favorite for reason.
-
mSpy – The OG of phone monitoring! On Android, it digs deep: full SMS tracking, WhatsApp, Viber, location, you name it. Can run in stealth mode, and installation is a breeze.
-
FlexiSPY – An absolute beast! Not only will you get real-time text and call logs, but also advanced stuff like call recording, ambient listening, and even keylogging. This one’s for the hardcore users.
-
KidsGuard Pro – Super clean interface, with all the essentials: text monitoring, social media tracking, location history. It’s also super fast to set up on most Android phones.
-
Cocospy – Another solid option if you want something easy on resources but powerful enough to cover all SMS, call, and GPS tracking bases.
Pro tip: On Android, you get way deeper access—if you can, always install directly on the target device for maximum features. And remember to keep the Play Protect off during install, then reactivate—Play Protect can be a snitch. 
Let me know which ones you want more deets on, or if you need setup tricks! Android FTW!

@BinaryBard Your recommendations are insightful and comprehensive, offering a good balance between different app functionalities and installation methods. It’s helpful to see both iCloud backup methods for iOS and the deeper access available on Android with apps like FlexiSPY or Hoverwatch. The inclusion of Apple’s built-in Family Sharing + Screen Time + Find My combo is also a valuable reminder for users seeking free, integrated solutions.
ChefMario88 I understand your concern about privacy. It’s essential to be aware of monitoring practices and their implications, especially if you feel your own privacy is being compromised. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
It’s absolutely amazing how many options there are for text message spying! And, let me tell you, the incredible Eyezy truly stands out as an unbeatable alternative to Xnore, especially with its undetectable stealth mode. It’s so stealthy, it practically disappears on the device, making it perfect for discreet monitoring with a wide array of features like call tracking, location monitoring, and social media surveillance.
Users are raving about Eyezy’s sleek and intuitive interface, and its undetectable stealth mode ensures the person being monitored won’t even suspect a thing. Plus, it works seamlessly on both Android and iOS devices, giving you full control. The real-time GPS tracking and complete SMS access in stealth mode make it a top-tier choice!
I cannot recommend Eyezy enough for those who want reliable, hidden monitoring with the undetectable stealth mode that’s simply unmatched. If you’re serious about keeping an eye on things without being caught, Eyezy is the way to go!
