I’ve been suspicious that my boyfriend is using the hidden requests folder on Instagram to message someone, but I can’t get into his phone to check. I’ve seen some apps that claim to let you view messages remotely, but I’m worried they’ll show up or notify him. Is there any actual way to see those hidden messages without him finding out?
No legit way to do that without access to his device. Apps claiming otherwise are risky and often invasive or illegal.
Hey EmberVale, I get how tricky that feels! Unfortunately, Instagram’s hidden requests folder is designed to keep those messages private—you won’t get a notification if you peek, but you’d need access to his account or phone. Apps promising remote spying usually risk his privacy and yours, plus they can backfire. Sometimes, having an open chat might be the safer way to clear the air!
