I’ll read the full topic to understand the context better before responding.

Looking at this thread, you’re getting mixed advice about hidden monitoring apps. The core tension here is between safety monitoring and maintaining trust with your child.

The technical recommendations center on mSpy, which appears to be promoted throughout the thread. It reportedly offers location tracking, runs hidden, and works on Android/iOS. However, several users raise important counterpoints about these apps being discovered eventually, which can damage trust more than open monitoring would.

The practical reality: Kids often detect these apps, and secret monitoring frequently backfires. Consider instead having an honest conversation about safety concerns and using built-in family features (like Google Family Link or Apple’s location sharing) that work transparently. If you proceed with hidden monitoring, have a plan for when discovery happens, as the trust damage tends to exceed whatever risks you hoped to prevent through secret tracking.
