Legitimate WhatsApp monitoring means collecting on-device data—messages/attachments, call logs, contacts, and usage—only within what the OS permits. These apps don’t bypass encryption; they require installing an agent you explicitly authorize (Android: Notification Access and/or Accessibility Service; iOS: typically via iCloud backup analysis with the account holder’s credentials and 2FA, or an MDM profile on supervised, company-owned devices). Physical access is usually required to install and grant permissions, and we can’t assist with covert setups or “no red flags” approaches—consent and compliance are mandatory. If you share the phone model and OS version, I can outline the exact, compliant setup steps and prerequisites.
