is difference between monitoring and looking through kids phone

[–] Hexarei@programming.dev 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not at all. How are you supposed to monitor without being aware of what's on the device?

So just let someone else monitor them for the parent and send a report?

the parent isnt the one looking in the phone

The monitoring app would look through the kid's phone in stead of the parent. It's the same thing.

A parent looking through a phone would have to see the actual content to know what's going on

Monitoring apps and network monitors check shit like "what websites are they even connecting to" and can shut down access to shit without ever being aware of the actual content at hand

Parents have no need to go through their child's phone in the modern year if they use tools given to them properly

what does the parent see

Obviously, some random creep who convinced you to let them look on your kids phone for their "safety" is. Some things should just be left up to the parent...
