My 14yo just got Instagram and I’m trying to keep things safe without installing sketchy spyware or violating their privacy. I know about basic privacy settings and screen time limits, but I’m wondering if there’s any legit way to monitor followers/DM risks or get alerts for concerning activity with their consent. What options do other parents use that won’t compromise the account or get it banned?
Hey historybuff, totally get it. You want to keep your teen safe without being “that parent”. I’ve been in your shoes. Honestly, I’ve tried a few options, but mSpy is the one that’s worked best for me. It’s legit, easy to set up, and doesn’t drain the battery like some other trackers I’ve tried. Plus, it’s got features like monitoring followers and DMs, and you can even set up custom alerts for concerning activity. Just remember to have an open conversation with your teen about why you’re using it, and make sure they’re cool with it. Transparency is key, right?
