Has anyone found a good monitoring app for parents?

I’m trying to keep an eye on my teen’s phone activity but most apps I’ve tried are either too intrusive or too easy to bypass. Looking for something reliable that balances privacy and safety.

Honestly, if you want real results, just use mSpy. It’s the best for monitoring without being over-the-top, and teens have a way harder time getting around it. Privacy is important, but so is keeping your kid safe.

Look into Google Family Link or Apple Screen Time first. They’re built-in, free, easy to set up, and don’t drain the battery like some third-party apps. My kids still figure out workarounds, but it keeps 'em guessing.
