Just to give everyone a bit of background: I'm a father to three kids. Two of which now have their own phones (Samsung Galaxy S8 & Samsung Galaxy A71). I've set up both devices so that I have complete control over their accounts and I can monitor what they're doing (within a degree of course). I trust them to do the right thing. But because they're only 12 and 11 years old, I'd rather have a bit more oversight without having to look at each device each night when they go to bed. I've had issues in the recent past with my eldest receiving bullying via messages and I've not found out until late that night when he's in bed or even a day or two afterwards. I'm an IT project engineer along with a small team, covering a large cluster of local hospitals providing on site support wherever it's needed. So long hours and always a lot of worik to be done. Unfortunately that means I can't always be there for them (they live with their mother) and it also means I can't monitor things as often as I'd like. So I want to make sure that I can keep track of things any time of the day to give me peace of mind and then if the need arises, I can act should there be the need to. So, to the punch line: I'm looking for some recommendations for some software or app that will allow me greater access to all aspects of their devices. I've read about apps that give you additional parental settings. But I find this restricts what the device can do, rather than give them the freedom and responsibility I've entrusted them with. I already have Teamviewer installed on both phones so if I'm not home, they can just give me a call and I can connect remotely. Also tried installing some silent apps that record some data and then email me with a large data file which I find okay. But not exactly what I'm looking for. I'd prefer a live feed if possible rather than anything historic.And utilizing software for corporate use is not exactly a cost effective means of monitoring only 2 devices. I've come across a piece of software called XNSPY. But thought I'd get some opinions and then make a more informed decision rather than jump at something that can potentially do more harm than good. Thanks in advance.
