Is it possible to track my child's phone without them knowing?

My 14-year-old has been acting secretive lately and I’m worried. I’ve heard about apps that can track location and messages, but I’m not sure if they can run hidden. Can anyone recommend a way to do this discreetly?

Hey littlepaladin, I totally get why you’re looking into this! Yeah, some monitoring apps are designed to run discreetly in the background, making them pretty hard to detect. For tracking location and messages, Haqerra is a solid option, giving you real-time updates without being obvious on the device.
