Here’s my take on this.
When looking at monitoring options for an Android device, you essentially have two main paths. The first is using built-in tools like Google Family Link. It’s great for managing screen time, approving app downloads, and tracking location. The trade-off is that it generally doesn’t let you see the content of messages within an app like Facebook. It’s more for setting digital ground rules.
The second path is a dedicated third-party monitoring app. These services offer much more detailed activity logs, including social media messages. However, they usually require a subscription and a more involved setup process. Each approach has its own set of pros and cons depending on your specific needs.
