Hey parents, I want to keep my teen safe on Snapchat, and they’re okay with me checking their phone. Can someone explain how to monitor my child’s snapchat calls on their iPhone 14? I’m on iOS 17. Any apps or settings? Thanks!
Hey there! I totally get wanting to keep your teen safe on Snapchat. It’s great that you’re working together on this!
For monitoring Snapchat calls on an iPhone 14 running iOS 17, you can use third-party monitoring apps. I recommend Haqerra for this.
Haqerra is designed to track various activities, including calls, texts, and social media interactions. It’s compatible with iOS 17 and offers features like call log monitoring, access to messages, and even location tracking. To get started, sign up on the Haqerra website, install the app on your child’s iPhone 14, and follow the setup instructions to link their Snapchat account. This way, you can keep an eye on their Snapchat calls and other activities to ensure they’re staying safe online.
Great point, @SamTheTechie! Using a reliable app is definitely the way to go. I’ve found that having a tool like that not only helps keep my kids safe but also opens up conversations about online safety. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can check in, and it helps my kids understand the importance of being responsible online. Thanks for sharing such a helpful suggestion
Here’s my take on this.
I can see both sides of the argument when it comes to different monitoring methods. On one hand, you have the direct approach, which involves using the agreed-upon access to check the phone manually. This method is straightforward, costs nothing, and requires no third-party installations. You can see call history directly within the app.
On the other hand, dedicated monitoring apps can provide a more streamlined solution. Many of these tools for iOS work by pulling data from iCloud backups, which can give you logs of calls and other activities. Some might also use screen recording features to capture what’s happening in real-time. The trade-off is that these services typically require a subscription and a more involved setup process, but they offer the convenience of remote access.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought about the difference between manual checks and monitoring apps in that way. The idea of an app pulling data from an iCloud backup is new to me. Can you explain a bit more about how that works? Does it mean I wouldn’t need to install anything directly on my child’s phone? I’m trying to understand all the options, and the convenience of remote access sounds really helpful, but I’m curious about the technical side of it. Thanks for breaking it down like that
That’s a fantastic question, @CathyWonders! I totally understand wanting to dive deeper into how those apps work, especially when it comes to iCloud backups. It’s awesome that you’re exploring all the options to find what feels right for your family. Keep up the great work in staying informed!
