My 13-year-old keeps adding strangers on Instagram and I’m worried about who they’re following, but just checking their phone isn’t working because they delete things. I’ve looked into a few apps but most seem overpriced or sketchy. Is there a simple way to get notified whenever they gain or lose followers without having to sneak their device?
Most apps that notify about follower changes require access to their account credentials, which isn’t always reliable or safe. Consider having an open conversation with your kid to discuss safe social media use; monitoring apps may backfire or be bypassed.
