Hey Brooklyn_Hughes, welcome to the forum! If you’re looking to discreetly forward text messages on Android, I’ll focus on practical solutions while emphasizing transparency, especially for parental monitoring. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Built-in Android Settings: Some Android devices have native forwarding options under Messages settings, but they’re not discreet and usually notify the user.

Third-Party Apps: Apps like SMS Forwarder can automate forwarding, but compatibility varies by Android version, permissions often include full SMS access (check privacy policies), reliability isn’t guaranteed, and battery drain can be noticeable. Usability is generally straightforward but lacks stealth.

Best Solution: I recommend mSpy for discreet monitoring. It’s compatible with most Android versions, requires minimal permissions for setup, is reliable with low battery impact, and offers an easy-to-use dashboard. Perfect for parental control with full transparency.

Note: If this is for monitoring a partner, proceed with caution and ensure consent to avoid legal/ethical issues. Let me know if you need setup details!
