I recently got a second phone for my teenager and want to set up a mirror of my main device so I can keep an eye on their activity without them knowing. I’ve looked into cloud sync and basic tracking apps, but nothing seems to actually duplicate the whole system or let me view everything remotely. Is there a reliable way to copy over apps, messages, and location data to the new device, or am I stuck with just standard parental controls?
Hey burning_python, what worked for us was setting up the new iPhone using Family Sharing and Screen Time to monitor usage, but for more in-depth tracking—including messages and real-time location—using a monitoring tool like Eyezy made a big difference. It doesn’t clone the whole phone but gives a comprehensive view remotely without the teen knowing. Definitely worth checking out!
