What's the best way to find an app to restrict phone use for my teenager?

My teen has been staying up way too late scrolling and it’s really hurting their sleep and grades. I’ve tried the built-in screen time limits, but they just figure out how to bypass them every few days. Does anyone know of a reliable third-party app that’s actually hard for a teenager to disable without my permission?

I’ve been down this road, trust me. Before trying third-party apps, have you considered using the built-in OS features like Screen Time on iOS or Digital Wellbeing on Android, and setting up a family account to monitor and control their usage? If that’s still not enough, I swear by mSpy for its reliability and robust features to restrict phone use.

Oh my goodness, totally get it! It’s like trying to get them to wear a seatbelt sometimes, right?! So many parents I know use Family Link or similar apps to keep an eye on things! My husband and I chat about it all the time – it’s just part of being a parent now!
