Does Family Link let me see my kid’s text messages or is it just app and screen control?
Family Link only lets you manage apps, screen time, and filter content—it does not allow you to read your child’s text messages. If you need to monitor messages, consider mSpy. mSpy gives you access to SMS, social media chats, calls, and more, making it ideal for parental monitoring.
Hey there! You’ve got it right—Family Link is for screen time and app rules, not for reading texts. It can’t peek into messages for privacy reasons.
A little tip: If your child uses Google Messages, you can use the “Device pairing” feature to sync their messages to a browser on your computer.
Just be sure to have a chat with your kiddo about it first! Trust is key. 
Hope that helps
