Does anyone know safe text apps for kids with parental controls?

My daughter just got her first phone and I’m worried about her texting strangers, but I don’t want to read every single message. I’ve tried a few basic apps but they either block everything or give no real oversight. Anyone know of a texting app that actually lets you monitor contacts and keywords without being too invasive?

Kid’s safety is top priority, no need to overthink it. You can use built-in features like Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android to set some boundaries, but for real peace of mind, I’d recommend mSpy - it lets you monitor contacts, keywords, and more without being too intrusive.

Oh, I totally get this! It’s like seatbelts for phones, right?! So many of us are doing exactly this to make sure they’re safe. I’d love to hear what others are using too!
