How to Monitor Text Messages on the iPhone?

You can monitor text messages from the child's iPhone using one of the following two methods:-

Method 1: Apple ID Method

Use this method to remotely monitor your child's iMessage communication.

Requirements:

To remotely monitor iMessages, you'll need the following:

• Your child’s Apple ID credentials
• A Mac VPS (Virtual Private Server)

Method 2: WiFi Sync Method

Family Orbit supports extracting text messages, iMessage, etc. with the Desktop/WiFi method.

Requirements:

To use the Wi-Fi Sync Method, ensure you have the following:

• A Mac or Windows computer
• Family Orbit Desktop app installed (downloadable from the Family Orbit website)
• Your child’s iPhone
• iTunes installed (for Windows users)
• A USB cable to connect the device initially (after the initial setup, backups will happen automatically over Wi-Fi)

How It Works:

1. Connect your child's device to your home computer and create a local backup.
2. Once set up, future backups will occur automatically over Wi-Fi.
3. The Family Orbit Desktop app will decode these backups and upload the data to your secure online panel.
