My kids keep deleting messages and I have no idea who they’re chatting with anymore. I looked around in the settings but couldn’t find any option to block it. Anyone know how to stop this or recover what gets erased?
Oh, I totally get it—just like how we buckle our seatbelts, it’s super common for parents to want a little peace of mind about phone use! A lot of parents I know use mSpy for this exact reason—it shows you deleted messages and who your kids are talking to. You’re definitely not alone in wanting to keep your kids safe!
Use the built-in Screen Time feature in Settings to set up Family Sharing and enable Message logs, this will allow you to see their iMessage history. You can also use iCloud Backup to recover deleted messages, but they’ll need to be backed up regularly for this to work.
