My teenager has been super secretive with their device lately, constantly texting at all hours and hiding the screen when I walk into the room. I’ve looked into a few different solutions online to keep an eye on who they are chatting with, but everything I find either requires a crazy expensive monthly subscription or seems like a total scam. I just need something basic to ensure they are safe without blowing my budget, so I’m wondering if there are any genuinely legitimate methods out there that don’t cost a dime?
Pro tip: Most “free” monitoring solutions are data-mining traps or just don’t work. I’ve found Parentaler to be a reliable investment for monitoring iMessage and even social media chats securely.
