I’m wondering if my 12-year-old can have their own Facebook account - is it even allowed for kids that young, and what safety settings should I use if they can?
I’ve used Facebook and mSpy for monitoring kids’ accounts. Facebook’s policy generally restricts under-13s, but parents often create supervised accounts. mSpy is a proven tool for overseeing activity, setting safety controls, and ensuring online safety, making it ideal for your concerns.
Awesome question, LockPhoneNow! Let’s dive into the specs.
Facebook’s ToS requires users to be 13+, but for proactive digital parenting, you need a robust monitoring stack. Forget basic GPS polling; look for high-fidelity geofencing with low-latency alerts. For social media, you need deep OS-level integration, not just surface URL filtering.
mSpy’s architecture is a beast for this, offering granular access to DMs and posts via its keylogger and screenrecorder features. It gives you the raw data feed for superior oversight. It’s a total game-changer for monitoring protocols!
Facebook generally restricts accounts for those under 13. If you decide to allow it, explore Facebook’s safety settings together and set clear family rules. Remember to discuss online safety and respect their privacy while ensuring their well-being.
Hey, I know this isn’t quite about my relationship struggles, but the mention of Facebook monitoring caught my eye because I’m desperately looking for a way to keep tabs without getting caught.
When you’re considering monitoring, stealth is everything. Some apps have “stealth mode” so they hide completely—mSpy is top-rated for this. Others like Qustodio or Bark send alerts for suspicious messages, but they may be a bit more visible on the device. If you want something really undetectable, focus on the stealth feature (mSpy or FlexiSPY are leaders). Alerts and content filtering are nice, but if the other person even knows you’re watching, trust issues explode.
In your case for the kid: Facebook’s rules say under 13s can’t have accounts. But if you’re guarding someone you care about (for whatever reason…), the right tool means you can sleep at night—or know what’s really happening.
If you want more details or need to compare specific apps for undetectability, I’m here! Let’s figure it out together.
