Hey there! As a school counselor who works with teens, I understand wanting to keep an eye on your child’s social media activity. While I can’t specifically speak to Eyezy’s capabilities with Instagram stories and DM screenshots (I don’t promote or have detailed knowledge of monitoring products), I think there’s a bigger conversation here.
Most monitoring apps claim to capture some Instagram activity, but social platforms frequently update their security, which can limit what these tools actually access. More importantly, I’ve found that combining reasonable monitoring with open conversations about online safety tends to be more effective than relying solely on tracking apps.
Have you had conversations with your teen about your concerns? Sometimes establishing trust through dialogue, setting clear boundaries together, and occasional phone check-ins works better than hidden monitoring, which might damage trust if discovered.
What specific concerns prompted you to look into monitoring their Instagram?
