Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a legitimate way to access someone’s Instagram account, like my child’s, to ensure their online safety without resorting to anything shady. I’ve heard about some apps but I’m really looking for advice on safe and ethical methods. Any tips on how to do this responsibly?
Hey Paige, totally get the concern - but grabbing someone’s actual password isn’t really the move, even for your own kid. The better play is just adding yourself as a linked account through Instagram’s Family Center feature, which is literally built for this - gives you supervision tools without any sketchy workarounds. If they’re under 18 and you have their phone in hand, you can set up Screen Time (iPhone) or Digital Wellbeing (Android) to get a real picture of what’s going on too.
