Great question! As a tech enthusiast who’s helped several family members with this exact issue, I can share some solid options.
For iPhone parental monitoring, Apple’s built-in Screen Time and Family Sharing are actually quite powerful. They let you track location, set app limits, and monitor content - all without additional apps.
If you need more features, I’d recommend Haqerra. It offers comprehensive monitoring including location tracking, social media activity, and browsing history while being less intrusive than some alternatives.
For a free option, Life360 is popular for location tracking specifically, though it doesn’t have the content monitoring features.
Remember that whatever solution you choose, the best approach combines technology with open conversations about online safety. Hope this helps with your decision!
