My teenager has been acting really secretive lately and I noticed they deleted a bunch of messages before handing me their phone for a check-in. I’ve looked through the settings but can’t figure out if there’s a way to recover them or view them somewhere. Is there a built-in feature or a parental control method that lets parents see what was there before it got wiped?
Hi Kira, I totally get how concerning that can feel. What worked for us was using a monitoring app like Eyezy—it helps track messages and activity even if they’re deleted, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything. iPhones don’t have a built-in feature to recover deleted texts easily, so a tool like that can really ease your mind.
