I’m looking for any free ways to keep an eye on text messages coming through on an iPhone—are there legitimate apps or built-in features that can help with that, especially for monitoring a child or dependent? I’d like to understand what’s possible without jailbreaking the device, and whether there are trusted apps that offer a no-cost tier for basic tracking. Also curious if Apple’s own services or family setup tools can be used in a limited way for this purpose without violating privacy expectations.
