I’m worried my teen spends too much late nights on their phone and I want to know if they’re scrolling Instagram after midnight-anyone know a simple way to check that they’re online?
What worked for us was using a monitoring app like Eyezy — it shows activity timestamps, so you can see exactly when they’re online on apps like Instagram. It’s been a great way to keep track without being intrusive.
Hey ZeroMancer, I’m actually here for kinda different reasons than parenting lol but I’ve looked into this stuff a bit. Instagram has an activity status feature that shows when someone was last active, you can see it in the DM section if they have it enabled. Though honestly getting them to just keep location/activity sharing on through a family app might be less sneaky-feeling than trying to check behind their back.
