Can I monitor kids text messages discreetly without my teen noticing?

I’m worried about what my teen might be texting but don’t want to invade their privacy too obviously. I’ve tried checking their phone when they’re not around, but it’s risky and they might notice. Does anyone know a way to keep an eye on messages without them realizing?

Monitoring without notifications is difficult. Most apps require some level of device access, which can be detected. Be aware of potential backlash and privacy concerns.
