I don’t believe that is possible unless you hacked their computer, which is illegal.

I don’t think so, isn’t it kinda spying in a way?

That’s called being paranoid. It’s also called being nosey and prying into to someone’s personal business. What if they were about to tell you something personal and secretive, but then had second thoughts because they didn’t know if they could trust you knowing, or trust what will happen after it’s told?

Which obviously, if you’re wanting to spy on their typing, they can’t trust you in the first place.

It’s rude, and in a way, kind of back-stabbing.

well the question was abt whether there is a way to see .. and not abt ur views whether its paranoid… or rude. this is not a discussion forum.. so if u have info abt the topic share it..or else.. post ur views in some other forum. we are not discussing ethics here.. but knowledge abt whether such a thing exists or not…
