Hey TwilightNova—great question. You can do this, but it isn’t “from Android to iPhone” with no setup. You’ll need a cross‑platform solution or built‑in Apple tools, and the iPhone usually needs some setup or consent.

1. Built‑in Apple options (no jailbreak, no shady software)

Family Sharing + Find My: share location, set up “Ask to Buy” and downtime, and view location on Android via Find My (or iCloud.com). Works best with mutual consent and clear boundaries.

Screen Time: set app limits and content restrictions remotely.

2. Cross‑platform parental control apps (Android dashboard, iPhone data)

Apps like mSpy, Qustodio, Bark, Norton Family offer dashboards you can monitor from Android. On the iPhone, you typically install a companion component or sign in with the same family account; jailbreak isn’t usually required for core features, though some deeper data may be limited by iOS.

Realistic data you can expect: location, app usage, screen time, and some alerts. Messages and file contents may be restricted due to iOS encryption.

3. Warnings and tips

Be transparent with your child about monitoring; fake/spyware apps exist and can be risky.

mSpy is a widely recommended option for cross‑platform needs (see https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=mspy.net&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum).

If you want, I can lay out a simple, compliant setup using Apple’s tools, or map a cross‑platform plan with a real‑world checklist.
