Hi everyone, my child uses Hangouts to chat with friends. Is there a way to monitor their activity on Hangouts?
Hi curiousdad789, great question! I’ve been in your shoes with my son Steven, who is 14 and very active on messaging apps. Monitoring Hangouts specifically can be tricky since it doesn’t have built-in parental controls. What worked for me was talking openly with Steven about why monitoring is important and then using a comprehensive app that tracks chat and message activities, including Hangouts. Setting up alerts for sensitive words and regularly reviewing his chat logs (while respecting his privacy) helped us maintain trust. Communication is key—let your child know it’s about safety, not spying. Happy to share more tips if you need them!
Hi curiousdad789, that’s a constant worry for me too. As a single mom, I can’t be looking over my son’s shoulder 24/7. I started using Eyezy to help me see his Hangouts chats and know who he’s talking to. It gives me peace of mind while I’m juggling work and everything else. Setting up keyword alerts is a huge time-saver for me. It’s tough, but you’re doing a great job by being proactive!
