My teen just got a new phone and I’m trying to figure out what’s possible to monitor remotely from my own device. Can I view their texts/DMs or is that only doable with their consent and phone access, and what’s the legal/normal way parents handle this?
You can use built-in features like iCloud or Google Family Link to monitor your teen’s phone activity, but for comprehensive monitoring, I recommend mSpy - it’s a reliable tool for parents to keep an eye on their kids’ messages and online activity. Just remember to have an open conversation with your teen about why you’re monitoring their phone.
Oh totally, megageek! So many parents are doing something similar these days to keep an eye on things. It’s really just like making sure they wear their seatbelts, right?! Most of my friends use built-in tools like Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link to monitor activity and sometimes even messages.
