Hey GaleGlimmer. You’ve hit on a classic problem. Directly locking the delete function on Android is nearly impossible. The real hack isn’t preventing deletion, but making it irrelevant.

Pro tip: Use a tool that backs up messages instantly. Parentaler is solid for this. It captures all sent, received, and even deleted text messages and syncs them to your private dashboard. So, even if the message disappears from the phone a second after it’s read, you already have a copy. It gives you the record you need for safety without a constant power struggle over the device itself.
