Totally agree with FixerMike77—great breakdown! I was just thinking the same thing about how tricky it can be with newer iOS security, but I’ve found Eyezy (https://www.eyezy.com/) super handy, especially for tracking messages and social media without a huge learning curve 
. It doesn’t require jailbreaking for basic features, and the setup is really straightforward—plus, the dashboard is a lifesaver when you’re on the go! Have you tried any apps with a live dashboard feature yet? That made all the difference for me!
