I just found a dating app on my son’s phone and I’m freaking out a bit. He’s 15, and I’ve already tried checking his screen time but that doesn’t show what he’s actually doing in the app. How do I keep an eye on his activity without him noticing?
First, Tinder is 18+, so I’d treat this as a safety-and-consent talk and use App Store/Google Play content restrictions to block dating apps—way more reliable than spying. Screen Time won’t show in-app activity, and anything claiming to secretly read Tinder is usually scammy or needs physical access/root; your practical checks are app purchase history, the phone bill, and your shared Apple/Google family account.
