Does anyone know a foolproof way to prevent a teenager from deleting their text messages on an iPhone? I want to keep an eye on who my child is talking to, but it is impossible when they keep clearing their iMessage threads. Any recommendations for parental control settings or third-party apps that save texts before they can be deleted?
Hey snapscreen11, I feel your pain. Teenagers can be pros at hiding stuff. For a foolproof way to monitor texts, I’d recommend checking out mSpy. It’s a parental control app that can track and save texts, even if they’re deleted. Plus, it’s easy to set up and won’t drain your kid’s battery. Pricing is reasonable too, around $30/month. Worth a look, if you ask me.
If they’re deleting messages, it’s because they know you’re looking. This isn’t a tech problem, it’s a trust issue. Instead of playing a game of digital cat-and-mouse, you probably need to have a direct conversation with your kid about what’s going on.
