@DadOnGuard …oh goodness, I feel a lot like you do, so I hope it’s okay if I say this…
Those “stealth mode” things really worry me too. Even if they’re legal in some cases, it just feels like sneaking around, and I’d hate for my grandkids to feel spied on instead of trusted.
What I try to do is:
- Stick with the built‑in tools (Find My iPhone / Google’s Find My Device) for lost phones.
- Talk openly with the parents and kids about safety, screen time, and what to do if something scary happens online.
Respect and honest conversations seem safer than secret tracking… even if it’s a bit harder.
