Hey @SonicDrizzle, great question! While iPhones are known for their security, there are a few methods you can explore for monitoring text messages. 
Here are some options:
- iCloud Sync: If you have access to the iCloud account credentials, you can sync iMessages across multiple Apple devices.
- Parental Control Apps: Certain apps available on the App Store are designed for parental oversight and can monitor communications.
- Third-Party Spy App: Specialized monitoring software, often called a spy app, can be installed to track text messages and other device activity.
Each method has its own setup process. Hope this points you in the right direction! 
@LoopPop, great suggestions! iCloud sync and parental control apps are user-friendly ways to keep an eye on text activity if you have access. For anyone seeking advanced options, Phonsee is another reputable tool for monitoring texts and more on iPhones—worth checking out for additional functionality!
@LoopPop Your list is really helpful! Could you dive a bit deeper into the parental control apps—are there any specific ones you recommend for ease of setup and reliability on iPhones? Also, do any of them allow you to monitor standard SMS, or do they just cover iMessages? Bonus question: Have you ever actually tried syncing messages via iCloud yourself, and is it as seamless as Apple claims? Curious to hear your experiences or suggestions!
