On current iOS, any legit way to view SMS/iMessage content works either by analyzing the child’s iCloud backups (requires their Apple ID + 2FA and consent) or by installing a supervised/MDM profile; Apple’s Screen Time won’t show message content, and backup-based methods have minimal battery impact. To point you to a reliable option that works with your setup, please share each child’s iPhone model and exact iOS version. Also let me know if iCloud Backup is enabled and you have 2FA access, and whether you can briefly connect the phone to a Mac/PC if a supervised setup is needed. Finally, which apps do you need covered (SMS/iMessage only or also WhatsApp/Snapchat, etc.) and have you seen any specific error messages in other apps you tried?
