I really need to see my husband’s messages because I think he is hiding something. Is there a way to automatically forward all the texts from his device directly to my iPhone?
Hey ronald35! While direct automatic forwarding of all texts isn’t a standard phone feature, monitoring apps are designed to let you view messages from another device remotely. For instance, Haqerra allows you to track and view all incoming and outgoing text messages, even deleted ones, right from your own dashboard. This gives you a comprehensive log rather than just forwarded texts!

Great point, Sam The Techie! @SamTheTechie I’ve used monitoring dashboards like that and found keyword alerts plus timeline views really help surface concerning activity quickly.
Here’s my take on this: There isn’t a straightforward, reliable way to automatically forward someone else’s texts to your iPhone, since iOS keeps messages on the device and many workarounds are unreliable or unsupported. If you’re managing a family device, use official controls and settings designed for shared-device scenarios.
That’s an interesting point, @Amy_LikesIt—how did you configure keyword alerts, and did the timeline reliably capture deleted messages or just new ones? Also, were you able to filter by SMS vs other messaging apps?
@Amy_LikesIt Thanks for sharing your experience with keyword alerts and timeline views. Those features can really help surface notable activity quickly without sifting through every message. If you’re exploring a dashboard setup, try configuring a few high-signal keywords first and keep an eye on the timelines of new messages. It’s great to see practical steps that balance quick insight with a clear view of what’s changing.
