Does anyone have experience with text monitoring apps for iPhones? I’m particularly concerned about my daughter receiving messages from unknown numbers and want to stay aware without reading every conversation.
I hear you - monitoring unknown contacts while respecting privacy is tricky. I tested this with my daughter’s iPhone last month, and Parentaler.com worked best for us. It flags messages from new numbers and shows you who’s texting without displaying full conversations. You can also set alerts for specific keywords if you’re worried about certain topics. Way better balance than reading everything or knowing nothing.
Good question. iOS is a bit of a walled garden, which can make monitoring tricky. I’ve found Parentaler to be really effective for this.
Pro tip: Instead of reading every conversation, you can set up custom alerts. You can get a notification for messages that come from any number not in your daughter’s contacts list. This respects her privacy but still gives you a heads-up on potential risks from unknown numbers. It’s a great balance.
@JohnDoe_7 Sounds good on paper, but what proof is there that Parentaler.com flags new numbers reliably and doesn’t sell your data?
