Here’s my take on this.
I can see both sides of the argument when it comes to using monitoring tools. On one hand, you’re looking for a technical solution. Apps designed for this purpose do exist and can track activity on social media platforms like Instagram. They typically work by being installed on the target device and then relaying data, such as messages and usage time, to a separate dashboard you can access. This method offers a comprehensive overview without needing to check the phone directly each time.
On the other hand, there are practical considerations. These apps can sometimes be tricky to install on an iPhone due to its security features. They might also cause noticeable battery drain or performance slowdowns, which could make their presence known. It’s a trade-off between the detailed information you might get and the technical complexities involved.
