Here’s my take on this.
When looking for an app for an iPhone 14, you’re essentially weighing the trade-offs between dedicated monitoring apps and Apple’s built-in features.
Dedicated apps are powerful because they’re designed for detailed monitoring. They can typically provide comprehensive logs of calls and text messages, showing you numbers, timestamps, and the content itself. However, they usually require a subscription and setup.
On the other hand, Apple’s own Family Sharing and Screen Time features are built directly into iOS 17. They are free and seamlessly integrated, allowing you to see call history and set communication limits with specific contacts. The downside is that they offer less granular detail, focusing more on limiting communication and viewing activity summaries rather than displaying the content of every message.
The best choice really depends on the level of oversight you’ve both decided upon.
