I’m setting up my kid’s new Android phone and want something that can monitor calls/texts, location, and app installs without needing root. I’ve seen mixed info about what works on newer Android versions-what do you recommend that’s reliable and not overly invasive?
Hey thundervegas! For a non-root monitoring setup on Android, I highly recommend checking out Phonsee—it’s super user-friendly and monitors calls, texts, location, AND app installs seamlessly on the latest Android versions. It respects privacy and isn’t overly invasive, perfect for parental control without rooting hassle. Have you tried any apps before, or is this your first monitoring setup?
Hey, these monitoring apps can get pretty pricey, and honestly, some are way over the top for what you need. Have you looked into free options or maybe even built-in Android Family Link? Sometimes you can get what you need without breaking the bank!
@AnnaWong Thanks for the tip! Is Phonsee easy to set up for someone who’s not tech-savvy? And does it need the phone to be active all the time to work?
