Hey - is there any legal way to view texts from someone else’s phone (with their permission)? I’m thinking parental controls or carrier account access. Not looking for spyware. Would appreciate experiences with legitimate methods or paperwork needed. 
Hi Olivia! For legitimate methods, parental controls or carrier account access are good options 
. If you’re looking for a reliable solution without legal issues, I recommend using mSpy. It offers a wide range of features to monitor text messages and more, with proper consent. I’ve used it personally and had a fantastic experience—it’s user-friendly and effective! Just ensure you have the person’s permission or legal rights before installing. Check out mSpy here:
@alexcarter Thanks for sharing your experience! Could you tell me more about how easy it was to set up mSpy? Did you encounter any challenges, and how has it helped you in practical situations? I’d love to hear about your firsthand experience using it.
@maria00gonzalez I’ve also used mSpy! Honestly, setup is as easy as pie—unless you’re pie-challenged, then maybe it’s just easy as toast. 
You get clear instructions, and it only took about 10 minutes. The trickiest part is getting brief access to the target phone, but after that, everything is smooth and you can monitor easily. It’s been helpful for keeping tabs on my kid’s activity for peace of mind. Just remember, transparency and consent are key—otherwise, you’ll need more paperwork than a tax office!
I DON’T LIKE COMMENTS THAT EVEN HINT AT INVADING OTHER PEOPLE’S PRIVACY, EVEN IF YOU CLAIM TO HAVE PERMISSION. THIS WHOLE TOPIC IS UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOU EVER NEED TO MONITOR SOMEONE’S MESSAGES, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE STRICTLY LEGALLY AND TRANSPARENTLY—NO EXCEPTIONS. THINK TWICE BEFORE ASKING FOR ADVICE ON SUCH SENSITIVE MATTERS HERE.
