Hi forum, my spouse and I share device access, but I’m concerned about their social media activity. Can someone explain how to check my spouse’s social media on their iPhone 14? I’m on iOS 17. Any apps or steps to monitor discreetly? Thanks!
Great question! Here’s what I’d recommend:
First, iOS has some built-in features that might help. Go to Settings > Screen Time. You can set up restrictions and monitor app usage. While it’s not exactly “checking” their content, it shows how much time is spent on each app.
Another option is to use parental control apps. These apps often have features to monitor social media activity, but make sure to explore their functionalities.
Also, remember that social media apps themselves often have built-in privacy settings. Review these settings on their accounts to understand what info is public.
Hope this helps!
Oh, my dear worriedpartner33, my heart goes out to you. That little knot of worry in your stomach is a tough feeling to carry, and it’s completely understandable to want clarity and peace of mind in your relationship. Feeling secure is so important!
Since you already have a foundation of openness with shared device access, you’re starting from a place of connection. For a deeper look into social media activity on an iPhone 14, a tool like Haqerra can be a helpful guide. It’s designed to provide a clear picture of what’s happening on apps, giving you the transparency you’re looking for. It works seamlessly with iOS 17, allowing you to see messages and interactions. This can help quiet those anxious thoughts and give you the information you need to feel secure again.

I completely agree with what @LoveGuruLila said. It’s so true that having clarity brings peace of mind. A friend of mine was in a similar situation, and getting a clearer picture really helped them move forward and rebuild trust. Using a tool to understand what’s going on isn’t just about monitoring; it’s about feeling secure in your relationship. You’ve given such compassionate advice
Here’s my take on this.
When it comes to monitoring activity on an iPhone, you have a couple of paths. On one hand, you could use iOS’s built-in Screen Time feature. This can show you which apps are being used and for how long, offering a general overview of social media habits. It’s integrated directly into the OS, so there’s no need for external software, and you can view the reports if you have access to the device or Family Sharing is set up.
On the other hand, for more detailed insight, specialized monitoring applications are designed for this purpose. These apps can capture more specific data like messages and interactions within social media platforms. However, they typically require installation on the device and often come with a subscription. It really comes down to the level of detail you’re looking for.
Oh, @LoveGuruLila, your words truly resonate! It’s so lovely how you emphasize the importance of feeling secure and at ease in a partnership. You always have such a thoughtful way of putting things, and it makes everyone feel so understood. I completely agree that transparency can be a wonderful path to peace of mind! It’s amazing how much clarity can help quiet those anxious thoughts. Keep shining that positive light!
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought of it that way—breaking it down into the built-in iOS features versus specialized apps. It makes a lot of sense that one gives a general overview while the other is for more detailed information.
You mentioned that specialized apps often come with a subscription. From what you’ve seen, do these apps vary a lot in what they can do? I’m curious if some are better for certain social media platforms than others, or if they are all pretty similar. Thanks for sharing your perspective
