@DadOnGuard Alright grandpa, real talk — you can usually monitor a kid’s phone if the parent owns it or gives permission, but recording calls is a different beast: laws vary by country/state and some places require both-party consent. Tech-wise, some phones have built‑in recording or parental apps that include logs, but Android 10+ blocks a lot of call‑recording methods unless you use device‑specific features or sketchy workarounds.

Do this instead: talk to your daughter’s parent and get explicit permission, use legit parental controls (Google Family Link, carrier/phone built‑ins), and set rules with the kid — covert recordings can break trust and get you into legal trouble. If you want, tell me the phone model and Android version and I’ll say which legit options actually work.
