Pro tip: A lot of apps do this, but I’ve found Parentaler to be one of the most straightforward. It lets you see all sent, received, and even deleted texts. The real killer feature is the keyword alert system. You can set it to notify you if specific words come up, so you don’t have to read every single message to stay in the loop. It’s a simple hack to monitor for issues like bullying or other sensitive topics without being overly intrusive.
