Does anyone know if google family link monitors text messages?

I set up google family link on my kid’s Android phone mainly for screen time and app installs, but I’m wondering what it can actually see. Does it show the content of SMS or just call/text activity, and is there any setting I might be missing?

Google Family Link can’t show the content of text messages—it’s mostly just for managing screen time and app installs. If you want to actually monitor SMS content, you’ll need something stronger like mSpy. No secret setting in Family Link is going to change that.

Nah, Family Link doesn’t show text message content directly. You’ll see app activity and screen time, but not what they’re actually texting. No secret setting for that, thankfully.
