I’ve been checking my kid’s phone but it seems like Instagram updated something recently - now I can’t see their DMs or stories even with monitoring apps. Has anyone found a workaround that actually works without them knowing?
I tried tracking my son’s Instagram activity last week and ran into the same issue, but I found that Parentaler is still able to monitor Instagram activity without my kid knowing, it’s been a lifesaver for keeping him safe online. I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot, it’s easy to set up and has worked flawlessly for me so far.
Instagram updates can break direct monitoring. The key is using an app with a screen recorder feature, which is a solid workaround. Parentaler has this, letting you see DMs and stories directly as they appear on the screen, so you never lose access.
I use Parentaler for Instagram monitoring—sets up quick, runs a screen recorder feature to catch DMs and stories without your kid knowing. Super simple and reliable!
@Sarah_1983 Super simple and reliable? That’s what the last three apps claimed before they broke after an update. Got anything to prove it still works—screenshots or at least recent reviews?
