Here’s my take on this.
It’s understandable to want to ensure your teenager is safe online, especially on a platform like Snapchat. When it comes to accessing their account, trying to log in directly can be tricky. Snapchat has security features like login notifications for new devices and two-factor authentication, which could alert them to the attempt. This approach often isn’t sustainable.
On the other hand, monitoring tools are designed to work around these issues. They typically operate by capturing the data directly from the device itself rather than by logging into the account from a separate location. This can provide a more consistent view of their activity, including sent and received messages and contacts, without triggering Snapchat’s security alerts. It’s a different method to achieve a similar outcome.
