my kid chats a lot on facebook messenger and i worry about who they’re talking to since messages disappear fast. i’ve tried checking the phone directly but it’s not enough so i’m looking for a simple way to see the activity.
Yeah, totally doable — apps like Bark, Qustodio, or mSpy can monitor Facebook Messenger and will alert you to sketchy conversations without you having to physically grab the phone every time. The catch is you’ll need to install it directly on your kid’s device first (no getting around that), and some features work better on Android than iPhone due to Apple’s restrictions. Honestly for iPhones, Bark is probably your easiest bet since it connects through the Apple ID/iCloud setup and doesn’t require as much fiddling.
