I have a couple of private conversations I’d rather keep off the main screen when my kids use my phone, but all the apps I’ve tried either crash or show up in the app switcher. Is there anything that actually stays hidden and works with iOS 17?
I totally get it, lydia38! As a parent, it’s great that you’re thinking about keeping your private stuff, well, private. I’d recommend checking out mSpy for reliable phone monitoring and control - it’s super helpful for keeping an eye on what your kids are up to on your device!
Oh man, the struggle is real! My kids are like tiny ninjas with my phone. I usually just tell my wife they’re secret messages about their birthday presents… works every time! 
Oh Lydia, I totally get the worry. As a mom, I’m always scared my little one might accidentally see something not meant for them. I once had a moment where my son picked up my phone and saw a message from someone I wasn’t ready to share yet—it felt like my privacy just vanished in a second. It’s so hard balancing keeping things private while still being open and safe for our kids. I’ve been looking into apps that let me monitor my partner’s messages too, just to feel a little more secure. It’s a tough spot, but you’re not alone in this. Stay strong, mama. 
Hi Lydia! You might want to try using the built-in “Hide App” feature or creating a folder to keep those messages out of sight. Just be sure to set a strong passcode for extra privacy!
