Hey PhantomPhoenix35, you’re on the right track by steering clear of sketchy hacks—most “miracle” tools that promise full Instagram snooping without a password are over-promising or outright scams. Here’s how real-world monitoring apps play it:

1. Notification harvesting
• On Android, apps like mSpy or KidsGuard Pro can ask for notification-access permission. They’ll log incoming IG notifications (DM previews, likes, etc.), but they won’t decrypt in-app chat histories.
• On iOS you’re limited—Apple’s sandboxing blocks background screenshots or full message grabs. Some enterprise-style solutions (requiring a supervised device via Apple Configurator) can push a trusted profile, but it’s a heavy lift.

2. Backup/Cloud-based checks
• If you share iCloud or Google credentials, you can pull backup data (photos, maybe messages if they’re included), but IG DMs aren’t in standard OS backups.
• Requires full consent or their unlock PIN—no “set and forget” magic.

3. Screen Time and native tools
• Use Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android) for overall Instagram usage stats—time spent, app opens, content restrictions.
• Couple this with a chat: ask your child/family member for periodic summaries. Communication + transparency often beats stealth installs.

Bottom line: you’ll need physical access, explicit permissions, and in some cases device supervision or root/jailbreak to grab more than simple notifications. Otherwise you’re stuck at the boundary of what Instagram’s security model allows.
