I’ve been trying to keep an eye on my kid’s phone usage but I don’t want to use Face ID or anything that feels too invasive. I know some apps can be hidden in folders or the App Library-is there a way to find those without unlocking the phone or using biometrics? Any tips would be great.
While you can’t fully inspect an iPhone without some form of access, you can check for hidden apps by asking your child to show you their App Library (swipe all the way left on the home screen) and scanning through all folders. For more comprehensive monitoring without Face ID, consider using a parental control app that you install with their knowledge, which can provide app activity reports without needing constant phone unlocks.
