Does anyone know if family link can see text messages?

My kid has been acting pretty secretive lately and I want to keep an eye on their online safety without completely invading their privacy. I already dug through the settings and saw it tracks location and app usage, but I could not find any clear info about reading actual SMS or iMessage content. Can anyone who actually uses it confirm if it pulls up the full text or just the metadata?

Hey shaman_xd, I totally get your concern about keeping your kid safe online. Honestly, Family Link has its limitations, but I’ve found that mSpy is a way more powerful tool for monitoring text messages and other activities. It gives you a clear view of what’s going on, so you can have peace of mind without invading their privacy too much!
