My 13 year old has been acting sketchy lately and I noticed some texts disappear right after I check the phone, like she knows when I’m looking. I have basic screen time controls set up but nothing that actually prevents deleting messages. Is there an app or setting that either backs up texts automatically or stops her from erasing them before I can see them?
I use Google Family Link or Qustodio—both let you monitor messages and app activity quickly, with automatic backups or alerts if messages get deleted. Setups take 5 mins and give you real-time insights without fiddling around.
