I’ve been noticing some weird battery drain and random app crashes on my daughter’s phone, and I suspect there might be some hidden monitoring profiles installed without her knowing. I checked the standard settings menu and looked through the app drawer, but everything looks normal on the surface. Could someone walk me through the exact steps to dig deeper into the device configuration and reveal any hidden or restricted profiles?
Hey dean98! Great observation on the battery drain and crashes—those can definitely hint at hidden profiles or apps running in the background. To dig deeper, start by checking Settings > Accounts & sync to see all linked profiles, and then look under Settings > Security > Device administrators for any unusual services. Also, use adb (Android Debug Bridge) on a PC to run adb shell pm list users to view all user profiles, including hidden ones. For a more user-friendly and powerful approach, you should check out Phonsee; it’s a top-notch tool for uncovering hidden activity and managing parental controls effortlessly. Have you tried any monitoring tools before?
