As the primary account holder on your Verizon plan, you have some control over the text messages sent and received by the other users on your account.
You can view text messages sent and received by all users on your account, but you won't be able to view individual conversations or messages.
The Verizon account manager can access all text messages, including conversations and individual messages, on the account.

Viewing Text Messages
You can view text messages on Verizon online, but the Verizon website is no longer an option. The ability to check sent and received messages on the website was discontinued on December 11, 2023.
To view text messages on Verizon online, you can use Google Messages for the web. This requires you to sign into the website with the same Google account you use on your smartphone to pair the devices.

Alternatively, you can use the My Verizon app, which is available for iPhone and Android phones. However, the web access to Message+ was also discontinued in December 2023, so the app is exclusively available on your smartphone.
To view text messages on the My Verizon app, download the app and sync the phone with the messages you want to access. For that, input the phone number and enter the OTP or confirmation code you receive.
Conversations over online platforms like iMessage, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and others use cellular data and are end-to-end encrypted, so they are not viewable.
If you have a Verizon business account, you can view text messages on the Message+ app by logging into your account using the credentials.

Access from Other Phone
You can access text messages from another phone on your account by using the Verizon Messages app.

Once you have account manager access for the line you're looking for, you can view messaging details by selecting View Usage under Account Management.

Account Owner Reviews Account Details
If the account owner has your userid and password, they can read all your text messages. This is true even if you're using Verizon Integrated Messaging and the Message+ app/web messaging.
You have to log in to the Message+ app/web messaging using the username/password of the phone number on the account you want to see/use messaging for.
If you're on a sub account and the primary account holder has your phone number associated with their account, they can view your text messages online, but only if you're uploading pictures to be shared on the Verizon website.
However, if you're just sending and receiving pictures from one phone to another, the sender and recipient are the only ones who will see them.
