The description of 'Textalyzer' sounds dishonest. I can't tell if this is a fake product being sold to unsophisticated police agencies, or deceiving the public about what is really happening.
The only way I can see it working is for the owner of the phone to login and allow a full backup via USB. This requires much more than "tap one button" and "90 seconds"
Even then I am not sure that iOS or Android will provide all of the data they are claiming to collect.
> "They can simply just tap one button ... and it will process, about 90 seconds or so, and it will show what the last activities were — again that could be a text message and so on — with a time stamp,"
> The device would display a summary of what apps on the phone were open and in use, he says, as well as screen taps and swipes. "For example, if it was a WhatsApp message, or a call, it will indicate what the source was, the time stamp, and then what the direction of the communication was — so if it was an outgoing call versus an incoming call."
