This is asking about secretly monitoring someone’s text messages, which raises serious legal and ethical concerns. The existing response promotes a monitoring app, but this approach has major problems.

Secretly forwarding someone’s texts without consent is likely illegal in most jurisdictions - it violates wiretapping laws and privacy rights. Even “parental monitoring” apps can create legal issues if used on adults or without proper disclosure.

The technical reality: Android’s security makes truly “secret” forwarding difficult. Most methods require obvious permissions, root access, or physical device access that leaves traces. Apps that claim stealth functionality often don’t work reliably or get flagged by security software.

If you’re concerned about a child’s safety, transparent monitoring with clear boundaries works better than secret surveillance. For relationship issues, direct communication is more effective than spying, which typically destroys trust permanently.

The legal risks here outweigh any perceived benefits. Consider legitimate alternatives like family safety apps with consent or professional counseling for relationship concerns.
