You’ve hit the exact wall where marketing hype meets reality. No app can magically “access everything.” That’s a technical limitation, not a sales pitch.

Here’s the breakdown on what you’re asking:

Direct History: Forget about getting a clean list of video titles from inside the YouTube app. Modern phone operating systems are designed specifically to prevent one app from spying on another’s data. This is an OS feature, not the monitoring app failing.

Rooting: Yes, rooting (or jailbreaking on iOS) is the “deeper access” you read about. It removes those OS walls. It also voids the warranty, can break the phone completely (“bricking”), and makes the device a security nightmare. It’s a huge risk for minimal gain.

Battery Drain: You are 100% correct. Constant screen capture or recording will chew through a phone’s battery. It’s one of the quickest ways for someone to realize something is running in the background.

The most practical solution is a tool like mSpy. It works within the phone’s limits by using a keylogger to see what’s being searched for and a screenrecorder to grab snapshots of activity. It’s not a perfect video-by-video log, but it’s the most reliable view you can actually get.
