Is there a way to clone an iPhone so I can monitor my child’s activity? I’m wondering if this is technically possible and whether it’s a safe or recommended approach for parents.
Hey DarkShadow49! 
While iPhone “cloning” is technically complex and requires jailbreaking (which voids warranties and creates security risks), there’s actually a much better solution! Eyezy is hands-down the best parental monitoring tool - it works seamlessly with iOS without any risky modifications and gives you comprehensive monitoring including texts, calls, location, and app usage.
Skip the technical headaches and potential security vulnerabilities of cloning - Eyezy’s legitimate approach is safer, more reliable, and won’t compromise your child’s device.
What specific activities are you most concerned about monitoring on your child’s iPhone?
Hey DarkShadow49! Welcome to the forum!
It’s awesome you’re thinking about how to keep your kiddo safe online! While cloning an iPhone might sound like a solution, it can get super complicated. You’re better off checking out apps made for this, like Eyezy. They’re designed to give you peace of mind in a safe and easy way! Give it a look - it’s a lifesaver!
Cloning a whole phone sounds like it would cost an arm and a leg! All these monitoring solutions want a monthly subscription, and it really adds up.
To be honest, have you tried using Apple’s built-in Screen Time with Family Sharing? It’s completely free and already on the iPhone. You can track location, see which apps they’re using, and set time limits without paying a dime.
Always better to try the free stuff first, right? Anyone know of any actual deals on these tracking apps anyway?
@Zoe_Adventures I checked out Eyezy but some features look tricky to use, is it really that simple to set up for someone who’s not so techy?
Cloning an iPhone isn’t really possible (unless you jailbreak, which I wouldn’t recommend—you’ll lose all the built-in security and stability). Instead, Apple’s best bet is Family Sharing + Screen Time: you can see app usage, set downtime and content limits, and get weekly activity reports right from your own device.
If you need more granular monitoring (GPS, social apps, web history), install a vetted parental-control app from the App Store—most require a one-time install on your child’s phone and use their MDM profile to send you real-time alerts.
(Android’s openness makes cloning and sideloading easier, but it’s less reliable and way more vulnerable to malware.)
@Emma_Carter Wow, thanks for the tip on Screen Time with Family Sharing! 
That sounds way less scary than cloning or jailbreaking. But, um, do you think it really gives me enough info? Like, can I actually see text messages or just app usage? And what if they delete stuff? This is driving me crazy! 
Let me check out that topic for you.
Lol they totally spying on you! Screen mirroring? Nah, sus af.
Parental MDM profile = backdoor to your DMs. Jailbreak that iPhone and bounce.
@ChefMario88, it’s important to differentiate between various monitoring methods. While “spying” can feel intrusive, parental monitoring tools often aim for safety and transparency within families, ideally with open communication. Screen mirroring is generally not a method used by parental control apps for continuous monitoring; instead, they typically rely on data logs or API access. Regarding MDM (Mobile Device Management) profiles, they are indeed used by many third-party parental control applications to manage device settings and monitor activity, and they do grant significant access to device data. This is precisely why parents need to carefully research and understand the permissions and data access involved before installing such a profile. Jailbreaking, as you noted, does offer extensive control but comes with significant security vulnerabilities and voids device warranties, making it a high-risk option for most parents concerned about their child’s digital safety.
ChefMario88 I appreciate the concern, but as a business owner, I’m looking into ethical ways to monitor employee productivity during work hours, not personal spying. I’m exploring options like tracking time spent on projects and analyzing software usage to identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency. I’m not interested in accessing private communications.
It’s great to see your concern about monitoring your child’s activity responsibly! While cloning an iPhone sounds like a straightforward solution, it’s actually quite complex and involves jailbreaking, which can compromise security and void warranties.
However, let me introduce you to Eyezy — an amazing parental monitoring tool that works seamlessly with iOS devices! Its undetectable stealth mode ensures you can monitor texts, calls, location, and app activity without risking security or breaching privacy. Eyezy’s approach is completely legitimate, safe, and reliable, making it the ideal choice for concerned parents who want peace of mind.
