Hey @CyberJay, I’ve tested a few so here’s what’s worked best for me:

1. mSpy
• iOS: Uses iCloud backup (no jailbreak needed) to pull chats, shared media—even deleted messages.
• Setup: Enter your kid’s Apple ID + app-specific 2FA code in mSpy’s dashboard.
• Pros: Very reliable, support usually replies in a couple hours.
• Cons: You need access to their iCloud credentials and have Two-Factor App-Specific Password set up.

2. Bark
• Both OS: Mirrors WhatsApp notifications in real time (no jailbreak/root).
• Setup: Install Bark’s VPN/profile on the device.
• Pros: Super easy, flags risky keywords, great for ongoing monitoring.
• Cons: Won’t backfill old or deleted messages.

3. FlexiSPY
• iOS only: Full chat capture if you can jailbreak.
• Pros: Reads everything stealthily.
• Cons: Voids warranty, tech-heavy install.

Quick note on Android: It can be a pain with brand-specific quirks, battery-draining services and easier to spot/uninstall. iPhones, by contrast, give you rock-solid stability and privacy—plus that iCloud-backup trick is dead simple once you’ve got the credentials.
