6 Ways to See Other People’s Facebook Messages
#1: Use Eyezy for Facebook Messenger Monitoring
Eyezy is an easy-to-use app that lets you read messages from other Facebook users, like your own children or partner, without grabbing their phone or standing behind their shoulder.
Although you need physical access to their phone just one time to install Eyezy, it shouldn’t be a problem if you have a trusting relationship.
To access all their Facebook messages, you need to purchase a subscription with Eyezy. Once it’s done, you’ll receive installation instructions in your email. Just follow this step-by-step video guide:
With Eyezy, you’ll have your own Control Panel that you can pop into whenever you like. When you log in, you’ll see all their Facebook messages sent and received, plus time and date stamps.
Not only Eyezy allows you to check someone’s messenger history, but it also shows the pics and videos that were sent and received in Facebook Messenger.
- Step 1: Install the Eyezy app on the target device.
- Step 2: Complete the setup process by following the provided instructions.
- Step 3: Access your Eyezy dashboard to view Facebook chats, media files, and contacts.
Why It Works: Eyezy operates in stealth mode, giving you real-time access to messages, shared media, and call logs without alerting the user.
#2 Sync Facebook Notifications
You can enable notifications to monitor incoming Facebook messages if you have access to the person’s phone.
- Step 1: Go to Settings on their phone.
- Step 2: Enable Notification Access for the Messenger app.
- Step 3: Use a notification monitoring app to sync incoming messages.
Why It Works: This method allows you to see new incoming messages, but it won’t show deleted or past conversations.
#3: Use a Keylogger App
If you want to see other people’s messages on messenger but don’t know their Facebook credentials or have no access to their email, Keylogger might be just what you need. Keylogger is created to record every keystroke made by the device user, making it possible to capture your loved ones’ credentials.
Many keylogger apps are available in the Play Store and App Store. You can choose one that works best for you or opt for a full-featured app like Eyezy, which offers this tool along with many other helpful features.
- Step 1: Install a trusted keylogger app on the target device.
- Step 2: The app records keystrokes, including usernames and passwords.
- Step 3: Use the captured login information to access their account.
Why It Works: This method is effective but must be used responsibly and legally, as it can violate privacy laws.
Once you install it, you’ll be able to see every keystroke your loved one makes on their Android or iPhone. This means you can see someone’s messenger chat as soon as Eyezy’s Keylogger feature captures their Facebook credentials.
#4: Check Linked Devices on Facebook
If you can access the target’s Facebook settings, you can review where their account is logged in.
- Step 1: Log in to their Facebook account.
- Step 2: Go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Security and Login.
- Step 3: Review Where You’re Logged In to check connected devices.
Why It Works: This can help you access Messenger if the account is already logged in on a shared or public device.
#5: Facebook Account Credentials
Many keylogger apps are available in the Play Store and App Store. You can choose one that works best for you or opt for a full-featured app like Eyezy, which offers this tool along with many other helpful features.
This method of reading messages from other Facebook users works if you have access to their email address. If you don’t, you won’t be able to receive the password reset link that Facebook sends out.
- Step 1: Log in to Facebook using the person’s username and password.
- Step 2: Open Messenger to view chats and activity.
- Step 3: Review messages, photos, and videos shared in conversations.
Why It Works: This method allows unrestricted access to their messages but may notify the user of unusual login activity.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out of luck. You can actually tell Facebook you no longer have access to the email address associated with their account. You’ll be asked to provide a new email address to use for their Facebook login.
However, you’ll also be asked a series of questions to confirm that you’re not just a random person trying to read messages from other Facebook users. You might even be asked to provide a copy of your ID (in this case, it would be your loved one’s ID).
#6: Hop on Their Computer
Don’t have access to their phone? Or not too sure of their phone password? There’s another method you can use that’s right under your nose. Try their Mac or PC.
Just go to the Facebook website. If they haven’t logged out since their last session, you’ll have instant access to their Facebook profile. And by clicking the Messenger icon in the top navigation bar, you’ll be able to see all their messages.
Did you land on the Facebook login page instead? Not all hope is lost. Today’s browsers let you save your login details (emails, usernames, and passwords) so you can sign in quickly without having to remember anything.
If they’ve opted to store their details in their browser, you can log in and view someone’s Facebook messages in a snap.
Go Beyond Reading Facebook Messages
Eyezy does more than just let you read someone’s Facebook messages. You’ll also see their messages in other social media chat apps, like WhatsApp, Kik, Line, and even Tinder. Basically, if they use it, there’s a good chance Eyezy is the window into their communications.
Facebook message monitoring is part of a feature called Social Spotlight. And Social Spotlight is just one of many tools at your disposal.
Plans Breaker lets you in on their social calendar. Web Magnifier shows you the sites they’ve visited, their bookmarks, and more. Phone Analyzer shows you who they’re chatting with over the phone. Files Finder shows you the videos, pics, and files stored on their device.
Pinpoint lets you find them on a map when they’re out and about. And Magic Alerts tell you when and where they’re going, plus lets you know if they’re using words in chat that you should be concerned about.
To find out how Eyezy can bring you a new kind of peace of mind while your kids live their digital lives, read more about Eyezy’s features on the website.
