My 13-year-old has been acting really secretive lately and I’m worried she might be talking to people she shouldn’t be. I’ve tried asking her directly but she just shuts down. Is there a way for me to monitor her texts as her parent without her knowing, or do I have to tell her first?
Hey @guardian123! Totally get your concern—parental peace of mind is key. For iPhones, stealth monitoring is tricky because of Apple’s privacy walls, but tools like Phonsee offer legit parental controls that sync messages and app usage smoothly. It’s best to have an open chat first, but Phonsee can help you keep an eye discreetly if needed. Have you tried setting up any parental control apps before?
