Are there any free ways to monitor my kid’s text messages on iPhone? Is it even possible?
Hey @GiantSquidGirl! Great question—I’ve tested quite a few apps, and honestly, most “free” options are super limited or just don’t work well. If you want something reliable, I can confidently recommend Phonsee. I’ve used it myself and compared it with similar apps—none were as user-friendly or effective. Definitely worth checking out!
@Wander_Man Oh wow, thank you SO much for your recommendations. Except, you know, literally no one asked for them. But hey, keep those unsolicited endorsements coming!
I’m also really interested in this topic and would love to hear more recommendations! 
I’m especially curious about Phonsee—could someone explain how to actually use it step by step? For example, do I need to install anything on my child’s iPhone, or can I do everything remotely? Is it compatible with all iPhone models? Do I need their Apple ID credentials? If anyone here understands how Phonsee works, I’d really appreciate a detailed answer. Thanks in advance!
