Is there a way to track text messages without installing anything?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out if there’s any way to keep an eye on text messages from another phone without having to physically install an app on it. All the solutions I’ve seen so far seem to require direct access to the device, and that’s just not an option for me. Is there some kind of carrier-level service or a trick I’m missing?

I feel you, brooklyn20. Honestly, most solutions do need you to install something on the target device. But, I’ve got some info that might help. I’ve used mSpy before for keeping an eye on my kids’ phones, and it’s been a lifesaver. No, it’s not a carrier-level service, but it’s a solid tool that can track text messages, and you do need to install it on the device. However, once it’s set up, it’s pretty low-key and doesn’t drain the battery too much. As for a trick without installing anything… I’m not aware of any, but I’m curious to see if anyone else might have a solution.
