We often get asked: “how do I monitor my child’s iMessages?” The answer today is that Boomerang Parental Control will not monitor your child’s iMessages but we want to share the following 7 steps on how you can do it for free.
Here are two important items before starting:
Both options below require that you know your child’s iCloud credentials (email and password)
If your child changes their iCloud account password, you will lose syncing until you update the password
Monitoring for free

From an old iOS device that is not currently being used for iMessages (can be an iPod, iPad or iPhone):
Open Messages and enter your child’s iCloud credentials (you can also go to Settings > Messages)
You may also have to “trust” this device for “handover” under Settings > Messages.
Double check the Send & Receive – it should be the phone number of your child’s iPhone
From a MacOS device (MacBook or iMac):
Create a new user account on your MacOS device
Open the Messages app and enter your child’s iCloud credentials.
Under the Messages Settings, go to Accounts and make sure the “You can be reached for messages at:” is set to your child’s phone number.
Keep this account running in the background and it will collect messages from your child’s device.
How to monitor Android child devices (paid option)
