My kid just enabled 2FA on their phone and I’m wondering if that blocks mSpy from working properly or if it still runs fine once installed?

2FA on the phone itself usually isn’t the blocker—mSpy mostly cares about physical access and permissions (Android) or the Apple/Google account credentials it syncs with (iPhone). If your kid turned on 2FA for their Apple/Google account, that can definitely make the cloud-based route harder, even if an installed app still runs fine.
