I’d like to keep an eye on my child’s text messages on their iPhone, but I’m not very tech-savvy and need a simple solution. I know iMessage is encrypted, which makes it harder, but are there any straightforward apps that can help with this, or is it better to just have an open conversation and trust them? I’m looking for the easiest method that doesn’t require jailbreaking the phone or anything too complicated.
For a straightforward method, I’d recommend a parental control app like mSpy. It’s designed to be user-friendly and doesn’t require jailbreaking—you just need physical access to the iPhone for a quick setup. It tracks iMessages and even texts from apps like WhatsApp. My son’s phone is monitored this way, and it gives me peace of mind while respecting our family’s rules.
