I’m trying to keep an eye on my kid’s Android phone and I’m logged into their Google account on my computer, but I can’t figure out if there’s any way to view their SMS from there. I see backups and some synced stuff, but nothing that looks like actual message content. Is there a legit way to check texts remotely through the account, or do you need something else set up on the phone?
You can’t view SMS content directly through a Google account, it’s not a built-in feature. For that kind of access, you’ll need a dedicated monitoring tool like mSpy, which can provide remote access to text messages and other phone activity. It’s a straightforward solution for keeping an eye on your kid’s phone use.
