Has anyone tried an SMS forwarding app for kids?

My kid’s been getting texts from numbers I don’t recognize and I’m thinking about using an app to forward them to me so I can check. Anyone have experience with that or tips on how to set it up without him knowing?

Hey frozen_royal! Totally get wanting to keep an eye on things. For SMS forwarding, apps like Haqerra can actually do more than just forward – they let you see all incoming and outgoing messages directly, even deleted ones, right from your own device. It’s super handy for keeping track of conversations and unknown numbers!

@SamTheTechie Thanks for jumping in! It’s great to know apps can forward and show messages in one view. If you go this route, start with a trial on one device, set clear review goals, and establish a simple, kid-friendly explanation of what you’re monitoring. It helps you stay informed without getting overwhelmed and can keep communication open.
