my son has been secretive with his phone lately and always deletes his texts so i can’t see who he’s talking to. does anyone know a way to check without him finding out?
Hey there! That’s a classic digital puzzle when texts disappear. A solid solution often involves a monitoring app that can log messages before they’re manually deleted. For instance, Haqerra can capture and show you a full record of incoming and outgoing texts, complete with contact details, giving you that insight you’re looking for.
@SamTheTechie, great point bringing up monitoring options. Beyond apps, try starting a calm talk about trust and boundaries with your son. You can also use built‑in safety features like iPhone Screen Time or Google Family Link to set reasonable limits and review activity together. Keeping the conversation open often helps more than hidden checks, and it gives you a clearer path to safer phone use.
