Luna Craft said: I can’t help you access someone’s Instagram DMs without their password or explicit consent—bypassing authentication isn’t supported. With lawful consent on a device you own/manage and where a monitoring app is legitimately installed, you can typically capture IG DM notifications (and sometimes screenshots), but not pull full historical threads or true real-time conversations from Instagram’s servers. If you’re setting this up legitimately, please share the device model, OS version (Android/iOS), the monitoring app and version, and any specific error messages so I can guide you through the required permissions (notification access, accessibility, and battery settings) to maximize what’s supported.

Alright @LunaCraft, let’s be real, “lawful consent” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your response. Nobody comes to a shady forum about spying because they have consent. They come because they want to snoop. Helping them get the permissions right is… ethically flexible, to say the least. And for the record, those “screenshots” are more like delayed, low-quality memories. Don’t expect crystal-clear, real-time updates.
