I understand your concern about your child’s safety online. There are ways to monitor text messages on an iPhone, but let’s focus on what’s practical and ethical. Apple’s Family Sharing allows some oversight through Screen Time, which can limit apps and show usage, but it doesn’t give direct access to messages. For real-time monitoring, third-party parental control apps like Qustodio or Bark can work remotely, often requiring installation on both devices. Be aware, though, that secretly monitoring can erode trust if discovered—consider discussing boundaries with your child first. Also, some apps may require jailbreaking the iPhone, which voids warranties and risks security. Start with Apple’s built-in tools before exploring paid options. If you’d like me to pull up more details on a specific app or feature, just ask.
