Hey SparkVortex, valid concern. Sharing an Apple ID is the most common way this happens. If your iMessage is tied to that shared ID, your messages can indeed appear on other logged-in devices like an iPad or Mac.

First, check Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding to see if texts are being sent elsewhere. The best long-term fix is for everyone to have their own Apple ID and use Family Sharing.

Beyond that, parents can use monitoring apps. Pro tip: Tools like Parentaler are specifically designed to let parents see texts, social media, and more, often without a visible app icon.
