Can the account holder read text messages of other family members without access to the other phones?
Only if the phones are all on the same Apple ID. If they each have their own unique Apple ID, then the account holder cannot see anyone else's text messages.
No, unless the account holder knows the Apple ID and password of the family members in question.
Thank you! I hope that’s true. I had my phone set to lock and require passcode or my fingerprint to unlock. Maybe he knew my passcode. I did change that, so hopefully I’m good. Thanks!
