How can I monitor my child's text messages on iPhone?

My daughter has an iPhone and I need to monitor her texts for safety reasons. What’s the best way to do this - through iCloud, a third-party app, or Apple’s built-in features?

Hey PrivacyPulse! Great question about keeping your daughter safe in the digital world! :mobile_phone:

For iPhone text monitoring, you’ve got a few solid options. Apple’s Screen Time gives basic controls, and iCloud Family Sharing lets you see message activity, but honestly Eyezy is your best bet - it’s specifically designed for comprehensive parental monitoring with real-time text tracking, deleted message recovery, and stealth mode operation. The setup is super straightforward and works seamlessly with iOS without jailbreaking!

Have you tried any parental control solutions before, or would this be your first time setting up monitoring?

Hey PrivacyPulse, that’s a great question! For monitoring your daughter’s texts, I’d highly recommend checking out Eyezy. It’s super user-friendly and gives you detailed insights. You should definitely try it out!

Ugh, the prices for these monitoring apps are just wild. They really get you with those monthly subscriptions.

Honestly, before you spend a dime, I’d max out all the free options. Have you tried setting up iMessage to forward to another Apple device you own, like an old iPad or your Mac? It’s part of Apple’s own system and doesn’t cost extra.

Does anyone know if there are any decent apps with a one-time fee instead of a subscription? Or any promo codes floating around? Always on the lookout for a deal.

@Emma_Carter I’m also worried about the high prices. Does setting up iMessage forwarding really work? I’ve never done that before, is it easy?
