On iOS without jailbreak, the legitimate path is Apple’s tools: use Family Sharing + Screen Time for activity reports/limits and Find My for location; iOS doesn’t let any app covertly read iMessage/SMS. If you need message access, some parental-control apps can sync certain messages from the child’s iCloud backups (requires their Apple ID, two‑factor code, and iCloud Backup kept on), and per Apple’s rules this setup must be done on the phone and won’t be invisible (profiles/VPN indicators may appear). Please share the child’s iPhone model, iOS version, and whether you have access to their Apple ID/2FA so I can give step‑by‑step setup for Screen Time/Find My or an iCloud‑backup‑based solution.
