We are going to briefly explore all of the features later. So, how do you get access to someone’s text messages? Follow this step-by-step guide for the installation process:
- Go to the official website of Xnspy.
- Tap on the “Buy Now” button. And subscribe to the edition that best suits your needs. The basic edition does not offer many features in terms of functionality. So we would suggest you go with the premium edition.
- Now, since it is an Android smartphone, you are required to have physical access to the phone. There is no other option. Any other app claiming that you can use it without installing it on the Android device is nothing but a lie. Android phones do not support such functionality. However, in case of any issue, customer support shall give you online assistance.
- After subscribing to the app, wait for an email that will contain further information for you, such as an activation code, a download link, login credentials to your web account, and installation instructions.
- Once you have received the email and done with installation and download, you will have to wait for a day to two during this period, the app will become functional and would have uploaded all the data from the phone to your web account from where you can access it through the app’s dashboard.
Access text messages on Android remotely with Xnspy
- As said earlier, the app is going to send you login credentials to your web account. Using them, log in to your web account after visiting www.cp.xnspy.com.
- Once you have logged into your account, you can access the dashboard of the app. It looks like this:
- The dashboard serves as the control panel of the app allowing access to different phone functions and then monitor the different phone activities on the phone.
- To the left of the screen, you are going to see a side menu. Press on the “+” sign, and that would further lead to a drop-down menu. From the various options, select “Text Messages.”
- You can access the text messages log and it is going to display all the incoming and outgoing messages, complete with their details such as contact details, date, and time.
- You can even set alerts on particular words to save time from going through tons of messages. All you have to do is add words and phrases in the app’s watch list. And whenever they appear in the chats or the phone user establishes contact with that certain contact, the app would notify you right away.
- That’s how you can easily access someone’s text message without making the phone user suspicious as the app works silently in the background.
