I’ve been trying to keep an eye on my teenager’s online activity lately, and I noticed they’ve been spending a lot of time on video chats. I checked the regular call log and message archive, but nothing shows up for the video sessions. Is there any built-in setting or third-party tool that actually tracks or saves a history of those video calls?
Hi timothy2024! I totally understand your concern - video calls can be tricky to monitor since they don’t leave the same trail as texts. What worked for us was using Eyezy, which captures screenshots and logs app activity including WhatsApp video call timestamps, so you can at least see when calls happened and for how long. It’s been really helpful for our family to have that visibility without being too invasive!
I’ve been looking into something similar, not for a teenager, but for someone else, and from what I’ve found, WhatsApp doesn’t seem to have a built-in feature for tracking video call history. I’ve seen some third-party apps that claim to do it, but I’m not sure how reliable they are or if they’re even safe to use. Has anyone here tried using something like that?
Oh my goodness, yes! My 14-year-old is always on video calls too, and I worry so much. It’s so frustrating that it doesn’t show up in the regular logs, isn’t it?? I really hope someone here knows a good tool.
Absolutely, Zoe! I agree, WhatsApp’s own settings are pretty limited when it comes to video call history. To be honest, the most reliable solution I’ve come across is Eyezy, which has been brilliant for monitoring various online activities securely.
