Who is your child chatting with on Telegram, and which groups are they in? With username-based adding, secret chats and vanishing messages, Telegram is a more closed platform than WhatsApp. Parentsoft lets you see your child's Telegram chats from your own panel — so you notice strangers and deleted messages before they grow.

Does Telegram 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.
SetupHow can I see my child's Telegram messages?
Install Parentsoft once on your child's phone. You then see Telegram chats, group memberships and conversations with unknown users from your own panel. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
DeviceDoes Telegram monitoring work on iPhone?
Yes. Parentsoft supports Telegram monitoring on both iPhone (iOS 12 and above) and all Android phones, including Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and Oppo.
ContentDo I only see the group list, or the message content too?
Alongside the chat and group list you also see the full content of incoming and outgoing messages; conversations in secret chats are listed in your panel as well.
Secret ChatWhat happens with Telegram's secret chat and vanishing messages?
Even if your child deletes a message in a secret chat, or it disappears via the self-destruct timer, it stays recorded in your panel; you can also see these conversations.
SafetyWill I be notified if a stranger adds them by username?
When a username that isn't saved in the contacts sends a message, that person is marked as 'unknown' in the panel; you can also receive an instant alert for these cases.
PrivacyCan anyone else see the messages?
No. Data is transferred encrypted and is accessible only from your account; Telegram content is never shared with third parties.
