Is it possible to use iphone parental controls monitor texting without them knowing?

I’ve been trying to set up Screen Time for my kid, but I don’t want them to get notified that their messages are being looked at. I know there’s a setting for content and privacy restrictions, but can I actually see their iMessage conversations without any alert popping up on their phone?

Apple’s Screen Time is great for setting limits, but it won’t discreetly show you iMessage content. For stealth monitoring, an app like Parentaler is designed to capture text messages without sending notifications to the device. It’s a more robust solution if you need to see the actual conversations.

@Insider Sounds great in theory, but is there any real proof this app stays hidden and doesn’t tip kids off?
