Does anyone know how to monitor text messages on an android phone?

I’m trying to keep an eye on my teen’s phone activity for safety reasons. I’ve looked into some apps but they all seem to require rooting the phone. Is there a simpler way to do this without getting too technical?

You can start by using Android’s built-in features like Google Family Link, which allows you to monitor and control your teen’s device activity. However, for more comprehensive monitoring, including text messages, I’d recommend using a reliable tool like mSpy - it’s straightforward to use and doesn’t require rooting the phone.
