Here’s my take on this.
Using a third-party monitoring app is likely the most direct route to see that kind of activity. These applications are designed to capture data like Instagram messages, shared photos, and even contact details, then display it on a separate dashboard for you to review remotely. This approach can certainly provide the specific information you’re looking for.
On the other hand, it’s worth considering the mechanics. Most of these services require a one-time setup on the person’s device to establish the connection. While they operate discreetly after that, the initial step is a practical hurdle. The information you receive will be a log of communications, which can be clear-cut, but may not always capture the full context of a conversation.
