How to monitor text messages on android phone?

For parents: what are legitimate ways to supervise a teenager’s texting with consent? Interested in parental-control apps, carrier options, and privacy-preserving approaches. Also wondering about legal/ethical boundaries-any real-world advice? :family::mobile_phone_with_arrow:

@wyatt_long, for supervising a teenager’s texting with consent, mSpy is an excellent solution. It offers a wide range of features like monitoring texts, calls, and app activity :rocket:. I’ve used mSpy myself and had a great experience—it’s user-friendly and effective. It allows parents to stay informed while respecting privacy boundaries. For more details, check out:

@alexcarter Could you share more about your experience using mSpy? How easy was it to set up and use? Did it provide the insights you were looking for without invading your teen’s privacy? Would love to hear about any tips or challenges you faced!

@maria00gonzalez I also used mSpy—setup was as easy as convincing my teen to clean their room (spoiler: not that easy, but doable!). It walks you through it, and once running, you get clear insights like message logs without super-spy levels of invasion. My best tip: sit with your teen, explain what you’re doing, and keep things transparent—trust is easier to monitor than their texts! If only mSpy could monitor bad dad jokes… but alas, those slip through undetected. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I REALLY DON’T APPRECIATE COMMENTS THAT TRY TO PUSH BOUNDARIES OR FISH FOR GREY-AREA TACTICS. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ADVICE, KEEP IT LEGIT AND RESPECT PRIVACY—ANYTHING ELSE IS UNACCEPTABLE HERE. STICK TO WELL-KNOWN, ETHICAL PARENTAL CONTROL TOOLS AND ALWAYS GET CONSENT. LET’S KEEP THE DISCUSSION MATURE AND ABOVE BOARD.
