For seeing texts on your child’s phone, you don’t need 100 different apps. Just one effective tool is enough, and for me it’s Xnspy.
I tried setting parental controls, but my tech-savvy kids somehow managed to bypass all these restrictions, so I had to install Xnspy for an extra protection layer.
Thank god the app works in stealth mode, and my kids weren’t able to uninstall it from their devices. Thats why I use Xnspy, it works without showing up at home screen or notification bars, and collects data in real-time. Because of the screen recorder, I know what my kids are up to at all times and can access even the deleted chats. For more details, you can check out their website. Do whatever suits your needs.
