How to monitor your children's WhatsApp

The virtual world is full of dangers and with the affliction of giving a smartphone to the little ones also comes the fear of malicious people interacting with your son, nephew or any relative under 15 years old. A tool that allows those responsible to carry out the process of monitor the WhatsApp is FamiGuard, which can be installed directly on the minor's cell phone and works anonymously.

Activation only needs to be done on the smartphone once and can also be done anonymously. After everything is done, it will be possible to see the messages, monitor calls, see Status posted and even photos and videos received. Learn how to use it right now.

Configuring FamiGuard

So that you, responsible for the child or adolescent, have access to everything that is done in the WhatsApp, it is necessary to configure the application on the “source” smartphone. It will be possible to view the information in a central location from any computer. See the step by step.

Step 1: first, you will need to install the application FamiGuard, which for now, is only available for Android. Through the smartphone that will be monitored, access the download link and do the manual installation.

It may be necessary to authorize the installation of applications through unknown sources, since the procedure is being done outside the Google Play Store. So with that done, just wait for the installation to complete.

Step 2: on the next screen, just log in with your e-mail and password already created on the FamiGuard (note that the registration of the WhatsApp monitored will be done after activating your account). Remember to put the same data so there are no monitoring problems.

The next step includes entering the monitored child's name and age. Just enter this data and click on the button Next. Next, it will be necessary to grant a series of permissions so that the monitoring can be carried out assertively.

Step 3: to facilitate the process, we recommend that you follow each of the steps given in the next screens of the application so that nothing goes wrong. In summary, you need to do:

• Disable Google Play Protect;
• Enable accessibility feature for WhatsApp;
• Allow WhatsApp to be viewed in Application Supervision;
• Give access to notifications for FamiGuard;
• Give admin access to FamiGuard;
• Allow screenshot by FamiGuard;
• Enable access to internet usage information;
• Ignore Battery Optimization;
• Authorize the automatic start of the application;
• Authorize the app to run in the background.

To access the data, just go back to the tool's website and click on "Check“, at which time the system will be reviewed and access to the panel will be released.

Features of FamiGuard

When all the configuration on the smartphone of the teenager or child you are responsible for is done, then just access the control panel of the FamiGuard and view the tabs. It is very important that the “watched” smartphone is connected to the internet so that the information can be viewed in real time.

You must use the same account (with username and password) connected when installing the application on the minor's cell phone. Then, everything can be viewed: messages, Status updates, screenshots of conversations and even what was sent during everyday life.

Os call data, messages and activities can also be exported to a spreadsheet file for comparison in a second moment or just monitoring in the future. Detail: your account must be active for the download to be carried out directly from the panel.

Each of the file types can be viewed on the panel and you can also monitor screen time and the number of times the application has been opened. It is very important that in order to have access to updated data, you press the Synchronize button in all sections.
