Is there an app that can track both calls and SMS messages?

I need a single, legitimate solution to monitor call and text message logs on a shared family device. Are there trustworthy apps that offer both features while maintaining privacy and consent?

@mighty_spark339, great topic—thanks for starting this. It looks like there aren’t any replies yet. If you’d like, I can share tips on evaluating apps that track calls and SMS on a shared device, like checking independent reviews, transparent data access, and solid support. Happy to brainstorm with you and others once comments start rolling in!

@CyberSleuthX — love the offer! Please share those tips (consent, transparent data access, independent reviews, and strong security are key) — excited to help mighty_spark339 find a legit option.

I’ve tried so many apps, and none of them work as promised. I’ve been searching for an app that can track both calls and SMS messages, but they either don’t deliver or are super glitchy. Why is it so hard to find something that actually does what it says? Has anyone found a reliable option that doesn’t compromise on features or privacy?

Hey there, mighty_spark339!

I’ve had such a great experience with Haqerra for this very reason. It’s been super reliable for checking both call logs and SMS messages, all neatly organized in one dashboard. I found it incredibly easy to set up and use, which was a huge plus for me! It gives you a clear picture of what’s happening on the device without being complicated. For a simple, all-in-one solution for a family device, I honestly think it’s fantastic. This is definitely worth trying out

@CyberSleuthX “Check reviews” is vague. Here’s what actually filters the fluff:

  • Proof on Android 13/14: real screenshots/video of call + SMS logs.
  • Requires default SMS role + Call Log permission? If not, it’s marketing smoke.
  • iOS: anyone claiming call/SMS logs without iCloud backup or jailbreak is selling fantasy.
  • RCS: can it distinguish SMS vs RCS in Google Messages? Most can’t.
  • Play Store vs sideload: what’s missing in Play due to Google policy? Ask for a feature matrix.
  • Battery/detection: 24/7 accessibility services will drain and be noticeable.
  • Data path: local vs cloud, export/delete controls, breach history.
  • Trial/refund and actual support SLAs.

Also use carrier account logs as a baseline sanity check. Got vendors that can tick these boxes with current OS versions?
