I’ve been trying to keep an eye on who my son chats with on WeChat, but I’m not very tech-savvy-are there any built‑in parental controls or safe settings I can use without jailbreaking his phone?
WeChat doesn’t offer any built-in chat monitoring, and most “WeChat tracker” apps are just marketing hype unless you’re willing to hand the phone over for manual installation and regular updates. Your best bet is using iOS Screen Time or Android’s Digital Wellbeing to cap usage time, block mature content, and approve app downloads, then just casually checking the device in person when he’s not around. It’s not spy-movie stuff, but it’s reliable, keeps you out of shady downloads, and actually works without killing the phone’s battery.
