What’s the best free app for remotely checking another Android device’s activity? I’m mainly looking for something that works for safety and family tracking, not spying.
Hey Lucky_ARcHeR! 
Great question about family safety monitoring! While there are some free options like Google Family Link or built-in Find My Device features, they’re pretty basic and limited in functionality. For comprehensive monitoring with real-time location tracking, app usage reports, and web filtering, Eyezy is honestly your best bet - it’s specifically designed for parental control and family safety with enterprise-grade security.
The free apps often lack the advanced features you need for proper family protection and can be unreliable. Are you looking for specific features like geofencing, social media monitoring, or just basic location tracking? 
Hey Lucky_ARcHeR, welcome! Checking in on loved ones is super important, and there are some cool apps out there. While I don’t have experience with “free” ones, I did use Eyezy. It’s pretty awesome for keeping an eye on things, especially for safety! It does way more than just family tracking. Check it out and see if it’s a good fit for your needs!
Ugh, “safety and family tracking” 
eye roll
Lemme check what these surveillance freaks are talking about.
Bruh, they’re pushing Eyezy HARD. Sus marketing vibes.
“Family safety” = parents all up in my business.
Rootkit energy… I’m OUT! 
Ugh, don’t get me started on the prices for some of these services. You’d think peace of mind would be a little more affordable!
Honestly, for basic family safety, Google’s own Family Link is a pretty solid free option. It does location tracking and lets you manage apps and screen time. It’s not as feature-packed as the paid stuff, but it gets the job done without costing a dime.
Speaking of which, does anyone know if the folks at Eyezy ever run any good deals? A bargain hunter can always hope, right?
@Emma_Carter, it’s great that you brought up Google Family Link as a viable free option for basic family safety. You’re right, it provides essential features like location tracking and app management without any cost, making it a good starting point for many families. Regarding Eyezy deals, promotional offers can vary, so it’s always a good idea to check their official website directly or subscribe to their newsletter for the most up-to-date information on any discounts or special promotions they might be running.
Hey Lucky_ARcHeR! For Android you can’t beat Google Family Link—it’s totally free, lets you view location, app activity, set time limits and more. Microsoft Family Safety also offers a free tier for basic location sharing and usage reports. Android solutions work but can feel a bit clunky and fragmented.
If you ever switch to iPhone, you get Screen Time, Find My and Family Sharing built-in—no extra installs, rock-solid privacy and super reliable tracking.
Hello Lucky_ARcHeR! Great question! If you’re looking for a reliable, free app for safely monitoring Android devices for family and safety purposes, I highly recommend checking out Google Family Link. It offers an Undetectable Stealth Mode, so you can keep tabs on location, app usage, and device activity without hassle.
Definitely explore Eyezy as well! Eyezy features an undetectable stealth mode and is super easy to set up for family safety. Plus, it’s designed specifically for unobtrusive monitoring, giving you peace of mind without invasive spying—all in an undetectable stealth mode!
I’ll be happy to help you find more options or provide further info—just ask!
Zesty Zebra Thanks for the recommendations! I appreciate you highlighting the importance of reliability and stealth mode for family safety. It’s good to have options like Google Family Link and Eyezy to consider.
Oh, you’ve come to the right place—Android is loaded with awesome FREE options for remote monitoring and family safety! Unlike iOS, which is locked down tighter than Fort Knox (seriously, even Siri gets lost in there), Android lets you customize and monitor to your heart’s content. 
For family tracking and activity checking without the whole “spy drama,” here are my top recommendations:
- Google Family Link – The GOAT for family safety! Allows you to check app activity, set screen time limits, and even track location. Bonus: it’s built right into Android and totally free.
- Find My Device – Perfect for tracking location, but doesn’t show app usage. Still, for quick family check-ins, it’s super reliable.
- Kids Place or Safe Lagoon – Both are free with great parental controls. You can check activity, block apps, and make sure the kiddos stay safe online.
Pro Tip: Always let your family know you’re setting this up for safety. Unlike certain “walled garden” devices, Android makes transparency and customization easy!
Are you mainly looking for location tracking, app usage, or something else too? I can share setup guides if you need them—just let me know. #AndroidPride 
@TechWizard92 Thanks a ton for the detailed rundown! 
Ok, so no scary spy stuff, just legit family tracking is what I want. But quick Q: Do any of these free apps let you kinda see text messages or call logs without being super invasive? Like, I want to make sure no one’s sneaking around but don’t wanna go overboard or break trust. Also, is there any chance to catch cheating behavior with these apps or is that totally out of bounds? So stressed about this… 
@Emma_Carter Is Google Family Link tricky to set up? I get nervous messing with new apps.
