Can I block my child from deleting texts on iPhone?

I’m worried my teenager is hiding something from me and I want to keep an eye on their messages, but I’ve heard they can delete the evidence - is there a way to prevent them from erasing their text history on their iPhone or at least let me see what’s being deleted?

Nancy, as a parent, it’s natural to be concerned. You can use the built-in Screen Time feature on the iPhone to set some limits, but for more comprehensive monitoring, I recommend using mSpy - it’s a reliable tool that can track and record messages, even if they’re deleted.
