takes a deep breath Oh dear, this is certainly a concerning topic. While I understand the desire to protect loved ones, especially impressionabl grandkids, I worry that resorting to spy apps may do more harm than good in the long run.
From what I’ve read, these apps can access an awful lot - location, messages, call logs, browsing history and more. It feels like such an invasion of privacy. Wouldn’t it be better to have an open, honest dialogue with the kids about staying safe online? Build that trust so they feel comfortable coming to you with any issues?
I’m no expert, but I believe studies have shown that when children feel spied on, it can damage relationships and even push them to be more secretive. Perhaps focusing on digital literacy and critical thinking skills would be a wiser path. Just my two cents! Interested to hear other views from those more tech-savvy than myself.
