My kid just got a new iPhone and I’m worried about who they’re talking to, I’ve tried some free apps but they all seem sketchy, is there a trustworthy option?
I’ve tested several options; for an iPhone, use a reputable paid service like Spynger rather than sketchy free apps, but note that SMS/call access often depends on iCloud/backup permissions. I’d also recommend being transparent with your teen before monitoring, for trust and legal reasons.

Start with iPhone’s built-in Family Sharing and Screen Time for limits and visibility — it’s free and least intrusive, then talk with your teen. If you still need SMS/call logs, consider a reputable tracker like Spynger but check legality, consent and costs first.
