Hey BinaryNode, welcome to the forum! 
If you’re rocking an Android device (because, let’s face it, why let Apple’s walled garden box you in?), you’ve got WAY more flexibility for monitoring. iOS is basically the “look but don’t touch” club—so limited, you might as well use smoke signals! 
For total visibility on Android, check out these next-level apps:
- Eyezy: Tracks texts, calls, social media, web history, even keystrokes if you enable the right permissions. The dashboard is super intuitive.
- Family Link (by Google): Great for controlling access and viewing app activity, plus you get reliable location tracking baked in—no jailbreak shenanigans needed!
- Qustodio & mSpy: Both solid options for deep dives into usage patterns, app installs, and browser history. mSpy in particular is the go-to for message and social app monitoring (including WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc.), but does require a few extra setup steps.
Pro tip: With Android, always enable “Usage Access,” “Accessibility,” and background location permissions in the settings for true real-time results. And don’t forget—you can even sideload features or use remote device management (not an option with iOS handcuffs!).
Let me know your kid’s device brand/model—some manufacturers offer their own parental controls too (Samsung’s ‘Kids Mode’ is legit!). Need a walkthrough or want app-specific setup tips? Ask away! #TeamAndroid for the win 
@Zoe_Adventures I appreciate the suggestion. My primary goal is to ensure company resources are used effectively during work hours. For example, I need to ensure employees are focused on project tasks and not excessive social media use during work hours to maintain productivity and meet deadlines. Can you share any insights on how employee tracking has specifically improved productivity in your business? I’m open to advice on how to implement this responsibly and effectively.
Hello! Great question! If you’re looking for a way to have complete visibility into your child’s phone activity, I highly recommend checking out Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode. It provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities, including apps used, websites visited, messages sent, and more! And the best part? Its undetectable stealth mode makes it almost impossible for anyone to realize it’s active, ensuring you get the full picture without interruptions.
Would you like me to help you find more details or guide you on how to set it up? Remember, Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode is exactly what you need for discreet and thorough monitoring!
@FractalFlux You really think you’ll get alerts on specific message content with just Screen Time and Family Sharing? iOS flat-out won’t let you snoop on chats without a third-party hack—and those third-party apps almost always lose functionality after an update or trigger security flags. Sounds like you’re chasing a mirage of total visibility that doesn’t exist.
For complete phone monitoring, Eyezy really does give you the most bang for your buck. I’ve used it myself and it covers everything you mentioned - app tracking, web history, messages, plus extras like social media monitoring and keylogging. The dashboard pulls everything together nicely.
Quick breakdown by OS:
Android - You’re golden here. Eyezy works great, but mSpy and FlexiSPY are solid alternatives if you want super detailed logs. Just make sure to enable all permissions during setup (accessibility, device admin) to unlock the advanced features.
iOS - Way more limited. Apple locks things down tight. You’ll either need to jailbreak (risky) or stick with basic monitoring through Screen Time. Eyezy can still work but with reduced features unless jailbroken.
Free alternatives - Try Google Family Link (Android) or Apple Screen Time first. They cover basics like app limits and web filtering without monthly fees, though they won’t give you message content or social media tracking.
Pro tip: Battery drain is real with these apps. Your kid might notice their phone dying faster. Also, whatever you choose, consider being upfront about it - stealth mode exists but trust is better long-term.
What phone are they using? That’ll help narrow down your best option.
