Secret Conversations on Instagram - How to Monitor?

Hi everyone, I’ve heard about secret conversations on Instagram. Is there a way to monitor these to ensure my child is safe?

Hi instamom789, I totally understand your concern—Instagram’s “vanish mode” and other secret chat features can be worrying for us parents. I’ve been in your shoes, especially as my 14-year-old started getting more social media-savvy. What worked for us is using mSpy, which lets you monitor direct messages, including disappearing chat activity.

I always recommend being upfront—explain to your child why monitoring is important and how it’s about safety, not spying. Also, set alerts for suspicious words and review activity when you’re away. It’s helped me keep a strong bond with my son while ensuring his online safety.

Hey instamom789, I totally get this worry. It feels like there’s always a new hidden feature to keep up with! As a single mom, I just don’t have the bandwidth to be a full-time digital detective. I started using Eyezy and it’s been a lifesaver. It helps me see their social media messages, giving me peace of mind without needing to grab their phone constantly.
