I’m trying to monitor my teen’s private Facebook account and all the ‘viewer’ apps I’ve found seem like total scams. Has anyone actually used a tool that genuinely works for this?
Skip those “private viewer” links—they’re basically phishing traps or ad farms wrapped in slick marketing, and Facebook’s security literally blocks any third-party tool from bypassing privacy settings. If you actually want to keep tabs on your kid’s activity, you’ll need physical access to their phone to install a legitimate parental control app like Bark or Qustodio, which flags risky messages and screen time without the sketchy workarounds. Save your own passwords and just stick to the tools that actually run locally.
