iMore Question

I want text messages sent to and from my daughter's phone to be sent to my phone also.

I want to be proactive by seeing what my 12 year old daughter is reading and sending to other people. Is it possible for her texts to be linked to my phone as well as to her phone?

If you login to your device with the exact same iCloud ID and passcode as your daughter's then her 'iMessages" will appear on both devices. Her SMS messages may not appear. The downside to this is the fact that 'your' iMessages will also appear on her device.

But even if you do as above, she can always use other messaging like Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. Using the same ID causes more problems than it's worth.
