Activity monitoring for teen's iphone

Hi there, I have updated my son's iphone settings to prevent inappropriate content. I would also like to install activity monitoring on his phone so that I can monitor his text messaging content, who he is communicating with and what websites he is using/visiting. What are your recommendations on how to do this? Can it be done through apple iphone/accounts or must I purchase a third party app?


Thank you for your advice!

No, Apple doesn't provide that type of service. Be very, very careful about installing third-party software that claims to do that. Installing such software on an iPhone usually involves disabling important security safeguards, thus making the phone more vulnerable to malware.
