My kid just got their first phone and I want to keep an eye on who they’re calling without being too invasive about it. I’ve looked around a bit but there’s so much out there it’s hard to know what actually works on newer Android versions. Ideally something that runs quietly in the background and lets me see call history remotely - any recommendations from parents who’ve actually used something like this?
Honestly, Android 12+ locked down call log access, so anything promising totally silent, remote tracking is either snake oil or straight-up malware. Grab a legit suite like Google Family Link or Qustodio instead—they’ll need about five minutes of hands-on time to grant permissions, but they’ll reliably sync call history without turning your home life into a spy thriller. Skip the shady “invisible” trackers, set it up during dinner, and you’ll get what you need without the drama.
