How to Monitor Your Child’s iMessages Remotely Using the Apple ID?

Many parents are eager to watch their child's iMessage conversations on their iPhone or iPad, as iMessages are a popular mode of communication among children. However, it has been nearly impossible to do it on the iOS platform with just the Apple ID details.

Solution:

Fortunately, Family Orbit has developed a solution to remotely monitor iMessages, making it possible to stay informed about your child's digital interactions even when you're not physically with them.

Requirements:

To remotely monitor iMessages, you'll need the following:

• Your child’s Apple ID credentials
• A Mac VPS (Virtual Private Server)

Understanding Mac VPS:

A Mac VPS, offered by various web hosting providers, allows you to remotely access a Mac computer as if sitting right in front of it. This enables you to monitor Messages remotely.

Recommended Mac VPS Service:

Our recommended Mac VPS service provider offers packages starting at just $15 / month.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Setting up a Mac Cloud Server

• Visit https://ultahost.com/mac-vps-hosting#familyorbit and select a suitable Mac cloud hosting package.
• Opt for the "cheapest" package, as our service is lightweight.
