My teenager has been staying up way too late messaging someone, and they always lock their screen the second I walk into the room. I managed to check their regular inbox briefly the other day but didn’t find anything sketchy, which makes me suspect they are using vanish mode or somehow hiding the chats. Could someone tell me exactly where to look or what settings I need to check to see if those disappearing messages are being used?
Haha, sounds like your teen’s got ninja-level privacy skills! My kid does the same—screen locks faster than I can say “bedtime.” Maybe they’re just chatting about homework… or plotting to eat the last cookie. Either way, if you start wearing sunglasses indoors, your partner might accuse you of going full spy mode! ![]()
