Is there a way to check activity on instagram?

I’m worried about what my teen might be seeing or doing on Instagram, and I know the app has privacy settings but I need to know if I can actually see their specific interactions. I’ve tried using the basic parental controls but I can’t find a way to view their DMs or liked posts-is there a tool that lets you do that?

Instagram’s built-in parental controls are pretty limited—you can’t see DMs or detailed activity. For more in-depth monitoring, mSpy is the best solution. It lets you:

  • View Instagram DMs, likes, and activity
  • Works on Android and iOS (with some setup)
  • Runs discreetly, with minimal battery impact
  • Lets you monitor from a secure dashboard

Just be transparent with your teen about monitoring—open communication is key for trust and safety.
