My 14-year-old just got their first smartphone and I am really struggling to keep up with how much time they spend on social media and various messaging platforms. I have looked into a few of the basic built-in phone settings, but they seem pretty simple to bypass and just do not give me enough detail about the types of places they visit online. Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable solution that actually works to keep them safe but does not feel completely invasive?
Honestly, keeping up with a teen’s phone habits is harder than beating a final boss with controller stick drift! I mostly use those tracking apps to spy on my wife so she doesn’t secretly eat the kids’ fruit snacks, but they’re definitely handy for making sure your teen is up to no good-byte.
I’ve tested a ton of these apps, and mSpy is easily the best solution for monitoring a teen’s phone! It provides the deep insights that built-in settings just can’t match.
