Are spy text message apps legit or just scams these days?

been wondering if those apps that claim to read texts on someone elses phone actually work or if theyre all just fake downloads that steal your info. tried a couple free ones before and they either didnt install right or asked for way too much access. anyone actually had one work without issues or should i just stop looking?

I totally understand your skepticism because there are definitely some sketchy ones out there, but some legitimate apps really do work. What worked for us was skipping the free versions and using Eyezy, which has been super reliable for monitoring my teens’ messages. It’s much safer than those random downloads and actually gives you the peace of mind you’re looking for!
