A suspicious link came to my son from a number he didn't know, and I caught it right away in the panel and blocked it. Being able to see his SMS gave me real peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions

Does SMS monitoring work without the child knowing?

Parentsoft is designed only for lawful parental supervision and recommends transparency. Setting it up by talking with your child is best for both trust and lawful use.

Is Parentsoft spyware?

No. Parentsoft is a parental control app that parents use to lawfully protect their own underage children; it cannot be installed on another adult's device and is not designed for covert surveillance.

Setup

How can I see my child's SMS messages?

Install Parentsoft once on your child's phone. You then see the SMS inbox, sent messages and conversations with unknown numbers from your own panel. Setup takes about 5 minutes.

Device

Does SMS tracking work on iPhone?

Yes. Parentsoft supports SMS tracking on both iPhone (iOS 12 and above) and all Android phones, including Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and Oppo.

Content

Do I only see the inbox, or the message content too?

Alongside the inbox you also see the full content of incoming and outgoing SMS; shared MMS photos and videos are listed in your panel as well.

Deleted

If my child deletes an SMS, can I still see it?

Yes. Even if your child deletes an SMS, it stays recorded in your panel; you can also see messages that were later deleted.

Safety

Will I be notified if an unknown number texts them?

When a number that isn't saved in the contacts sends an SMS, that number is marked as 'unknown' in the panel; you can also receive an instant alert for these cases.

Privacy

Can anyone else see the SMS?

No. Data is transferred encrypted and is accessible only from your account; SMS content is never shared with third parties.
