I’ve been using Google Family Link to monitor my child’s device usage and screen time, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to actually view their text messages through the app. I know Family Link has various parental controls, but I’m not sure if reading texts is even a feature or if I need a different app altogether. Can someone walk me through the steps if it’s possible, or recommend an alternative solution that works well with Family Link for monitoring my kid’s messaging activity?
