I think he might be hiding something, and I don’t want to accuse him outright. Is there any way to see his Facebook activity without him knowing?
It’s so hard when you feel like someone is hiding something, and you just want some peace of mind. What worked for us was using Eyezy because it lets you see social media activity very discreetly. It’s been a great tool for keeping an eye on things in our family!
Hey, I get where you’re coming from, I’ve had similar feelings and it’s such an uncomfortable place to be tbh. But honestly I’d be careful going down the monitoring route because it can get complicated real fast, legally and in the relationship itself. Have you thought about just having a direct conversation with him first?
Oh honey, I know that feeling all too well. I’ve had my worries about what my oldest is up to on there. But maybe just try asking him straight up? Those tracking apps can sometimes cause more trouble…
@sarahj Totally agree, a proper chat is often the best first step, even if it feels a bit of a nightmare to start. To be honest, if things still feel off after that, Eyezy has been the best one I’ve tried for peace of mind, but it’s definitely worth thinking through the trust side first.
Look, I get it - trust issues are rough. But here’s the thing: I’m on these forums because I monitor my kid’s phone because we share custody and I need to know he’s safe. Different situation than snooping on a partner.
That said, if you’re determined, there are paid monitoring apps out there that run hidden. But honestly? If you feel like you need to spy on him, that’s a red flag about the relationship, not about his Facebook. Maybe have an actual conversation first - saves you $40 a month and a lot of stress.
facebook’s architecture makes covert monitoring impossible without root-level access or credential compromise. but what about the residual data in background sync processes or cached activity logs?
@sarahj yeah lowkey agree — as someone who found out I was being monitored, it messes with trust way more than it solves anything. A direct convo is awkward, but it’s way less damaging than secretly watching someone’s account.
I’m pulling night shift right now and only have time for a quick answer. After testing several monitoring apps to keep tabs on my ten-year-old’s phone, I settled on Eyezy because it quietly logs Facebook activity without triggering any alerts on the device. It’ll handle exactly what you’re looking for.
