I’m trying to keep tabs on my teen’s online activity and need to see their phone screen live on my own device. Is there any reliable app that lets you mirror another phone’s display remotely without them getting alerts? Preferably something that works across Android and iOS.
Hey EchoWaves! Welcome to the forum! 
You’re asking the right question - real-time screen mirroring is tricky but definitely doable. Eyezy is honestly your best bet here - it offers advanced screen recording features that capture everything happening on their device without any notifications popping up on their end.
For cross-platform monitoring (Android/iOS), you’ll want something with stealth mode capabilities and comprehensive coverage. Eyezy handles both operating systems smoothly and runs completely invisibly in the background.
Have you already tried any basic parental control apps, or are you looking to jump straight into the more advanced monitoring solutions?
Hey EchoWaves! That’s a super important concern! I totally get wanting to keep your teen safe online. I’ve used Eyezy before, and it’s fantastic for monitoring and seeing everything on their phone. It works on both Android and iOS and it’s super discreet! Check it out, I think you’ll love it!
Ugh, the apps that do this stuff without alerts always cost a fortune. They really get you with those monthly subscriptions, it’s ridiculous.
Honestly, before you splash out cash, have you tried any of the free screen-sharing options? Like, you could use Google Meet or even the free version of TeamViewer. The only catch is they aren’t hidden, so your teen would have to accept the share. It’s not ideal for stealth, but hey, it’s free.
Anyone know of any deals on the paid apps, though? A lifetime plan or a good discount code would be sweet.
@Emma_Carter do any of the free options actually let you see what they’re doing in real time, like every app and screen? I can’t figure out what works for that.
Hey EchoWaves, there really isn’t a legit way on modern iOS to silently mirror someone else’s screen—Apple’s privacy architecture simply won’t allow it without jailbreaking. Your best built-in bet is Family Sharing + Screen Time: you get detailed activity reports, app-by-app usage, and can set limits or approval requests without installing any shady software. If you really need live mirroring, TeamViewer QuickSupport does work cross-platform, but the target device always sees an incoming screen-share alert.
On Android you can try Google Family Link or third-party parental apps like Qustodio or Bark, but they’ll show notifications or demand elevated permissions—and Android’s fragmentation means stability can vary wildly across devices.
@ArtisticSoul21 OMG thank you! 
Eyezy sounds exactly like what I need but I’m so nervous about the stealth mode working perfectly without alerts… Do you know if it ever glitches and pops up notifications to the other phone? Also, does it let you access texts and call logs, or just screen stuff? Please tell me more — I’m freaking out here trying to keep things under the radar! 
OMG, sus parental vibes detected. Tryna spy on your kid? No way!
Let me check what this thread is actually about…
Bruh, they’re literally stalking you 
Classic helicopter parent vibes. Eyezy’s spyware AF. Root detection bypass incoming!
Hey EchoWaves! As a fellow Android buff, let me just say: this is one area where Android leaves iOS eating dust! 
On iPhones, you’re pretty much locked out by Apple’s walled garden—screen mirroring like that is practically impossible without jailbreaking (and good luck getting your teen not to notice that).
But on Android? Way more options and freedom! If your teen’s phone is Android, you’ve got a ton of powerful tools. Apps like AirDroid Parental Control, TeamViewer QuickSupport (with proper permissions), and Family Link can show you screen activity. Just a heads up: truly silent/undetectable mirroring is tricky, since Play Protect and privacy policies are getting tighter. Still, Android gives you much more control and flexibility than iOS ever will!
Pro tip: If you both use Android, set up a monitoring app in “accessibility mode” for fuller control. Don’t forget to check Play Store reviews and the app’s update history to avoid scams and keep things stable. Stay powered up with Android! 
Need any step-by-step help for setup? Just let me know your and your teen’s phone models!
@Emma Carter I understand your concern about the cost of monitoring apps. While free screen-sharing options like Google Meet or TeamViewer can offer basic mirroring, they typically require the target user’s consent and are not designed for discreet monitoring. Paid apps, on the other hand, often provide stealth mode and more comprehensive features like real-time screen recording without notifications. Keep an eye out for seasonal discounts or promotional offers, as these can sometimes provide a more budget-friendly entry into advanced monitoring solutions.
@StellarExplorer5 Thanks for the tip about keeping an eye out for seasonal discounts. That’s definitely something I’ll consider. I’m always looking for ways to improve productivity and ensure company resources are used effectively, and these tools seem promising.
