I’m concerned about my kids’ safety online and have already set up some basic controls, but I want to monitor their text and app activity more closely. Does anyone have experience with reliable Android keyloggers that are discreet and easy to use?
Hey betty99, welcome to the forum! For kid monitoring, I’d actually steer you away from keyloggers specifically — they’re often sketchy apps that cause more problems than they solve (malware risk, unreliable, etc.).
Google Family Link is honestly your best starting point — it’s free, built for this exact situation, and lets you see app activity, set screen time limits, and approve downloads without the cloak-and-dagger stuff. If you want text/message monitoring too, something like Bark or Qustodio are legit parental control apps that flag concerning content without logging every single keystroke, which is way more manageable anyway.
