Messages and locations.

Is there a way to get the content of the messages that we're receiving? And is there any way to know the exact location of the person using only the phone if their Find My iPhone is off? Thank you in advance.

Good Morning @Malibog,


I hope you are having a great Friday! Can you please be more specific to what you mean by the content of the messages? Do you mean on other phones on your account besides your phone? I need clarification on this question please. I would be more than happy to answer your questions .

I look forward to your reply. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.

Sorry for the confusion. And Thank you for replying to me. Yes, the content of the messages on their phone. And for the location, is there a way to know their exact location even if their Find My iPhone is off?

Good Morning @Malibog,


Thank you for your reply.  In order to be able to see someone else’s texts, you would have to view them off of their phone.  Once a text message is deleted, the message is gone unless the messages are saved to the cloud which is the backup and storage section of the phone.  As for knowing someone’s exact location when Find My iPhone is off, this cannot be done.  There are apps through the iTune store you may be able to download on the phone for tracking.  When you log into the iTune store, enter into the search bar “track phone”. 


I hope this helps and have a great day.
