I own 2 Galaxy Note phones. The target phone had Android 9 and mine now has 10. Both worked flawlessly without root (snapdragon/knox**boooo**). I believe it has the most features (tools) to offer without rooting your phones. I needed to confirm that a secret relationship had ended in order to move on with my life as a husband and father. Flexispy gave me the tools I needed to do this. Keylogging and location history is an absolute must when comes to phone monitoring. I submitted a question for tech support about installing Flexispy and they answered very quickly. I would highly recommend Flexispy if you need to monitor a phone or phones. I am very happy to report I can move on with my life in a positive direction and Flexispy has given my family and I a bright future. No need to try anything else because Flexispy just works and it was worth every cent. Every interaction with thier staff was super friendly and helpful. Thank you all for your help!
Lissa (mSpy user):
I switched to mSpy from Highster Mobile. Highster still showed that you downloaded the app. What is the point if they will know you are hacking their device when they see the app installed? Just want it to install without the target device knowing it is there. Really smart when you see the app so you check it out. Its all right there in the app description - Not what i wanted. Didnt figure that out until payment was made. Felt like a waste with no how to before...
Gloria (Spyzie user):
I Think it is a great product when you have the right mobile phone it works with and the features. i was very satisfied when my problems that i had were resolved without any problem. When it got close to my expiration date I had just figured out how to use the ambient feature which works so swell. Man this have changed many things in my life and i know for sure i would refer others who ask for some source of help like this.

Can you read someone’s text messages without installing spyware on their phone? 

While all of the above apps will let you view text messages as well as other personal information, it is required to have an app installed on the target phone.

If you simply want to spy on text messages free without installing software, that is possible on Apple devices. In order to do this, you need to know the other person’s Apple ID. This is the email and password they use with their Apple account.

Once you have this info, you can login to iCloud. Text messages are backed up in iCloud so you will be able to view them there.
