My high schooler has been staying up way too late messaging people I don’t know and acting weird. I heard this software is powerful, but is it easy to set up? I don’t want to waste my money.
Hey charles24, iKeyMonitor is legit for parental monitoring - it covers keylogging, app usage, GPS, and social media snapshots, so yeah it’s pretty powerful for keeping tabs on a teen. The catch is you need physical access to install it, and on iPhones especially it can get fiddly depending on iOS version.
Honestly though, for a high schooler acting weird and staying up late, I’d start with the free stuff first - Apple Screen Time or Google Family Link handles bedtime limits and app restrictions without spending a dime, and checking your phone carrier’s parental controls takes like 10 minutes. That covers 80% of what most parents actually need.
