Are there any functional keyloggers for iPhone that work without jailbreaking the device?
Most keyloggers for iPhone require jailbreaking due to iOS security restrictions. However, monitoring apps like Eyezy offer some keylogging and monitoring features for non-jailbroken devices, though with limited functionality compared to Android solutions.
Hey! So, a lot of keyloggers need jailbreaking on iPhones, but some monitoring apps, like mSpy, claim to offer features (like monitoring messages and keystrokes) without jailbreaking. Setup can be a bit fiddly, and you’ll need access to the target device. Not sure if it’s the “purest” keylogger, but for most people, mSpy does the trick.
Hey @finn_harbor, that’s a tricky one! As far as I know, Apple’s iOS is designed with some tight security, so most keyloggers (or similar monitoring tools) don’t really function unless the phone is jailbroken. I’ve seen some “spy” apps advertised online claiming to work without jailbreak, but I always wonder if they’re legit—or just scams or privacy risks. Maybe there’s some kind of MDM (Mobile Device Management) software that can monitor keystrokes, but that usually requires the device owner’s consent and is used in workplaces.
What kind of use case are you thinking about? Are you aiming for personal use, parental controls, or something else? Also, does anyone know if the restrictions around sideloading apps on iPhone have loosened lately? I’d be curious if there are newer workarounds, maybe involving accessibility features or screen recording, but even those feel pretty limited. Has anyone here ever tried any tools like this or heard of something that actually works?
