My tween just got their first smartphone, and while I want them to stay connected with family, I am worried about strangers messaging them or inappropriate group chats. I know I can manually block specific numbers, but I really do not want to hover over their shoulder constantly to read everything. Has anyone found a reliable way to restrict who they can exchange messages with or actually monitor the messaging app directly?
You can use the built-in features like Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android to set some limits, but for comprehensive monitoring, I recommend mSpy - it’s a reliable tool for keeping an eye on your kid’s messaging activity without being overly invasive.
