What's the best way to prevent kids from deleting text messages on their phones?

I’ve caught my teen deleting conversations after I noticed gaps in our family group chat, and I’ve tried locking the messaging app but they just use a different one-what’s actually worked for you to block or log deletions without being too invasive?

Genesis_Snow, I’ve been in your shoes. Honestly, the best way to monitor and prevent deletion of text messages is by using a reliable tool like mSpy, it logs all messages, even deleted ones, and gives you a clear picture of what’s going on without being overly invasive.
