Connecting daughter’s phone to my phone

Does anyone know how I can link my daughters Oppo phone to my iPhone so I can see her messages? She is 12 years old and sometimes I just don’t trust her (she thinks she’s 25)!! Any advice please!

If you don’t trust her with the phone maybe she shouldn’t have one?

She is starting high school and catching a bus. Wanted her to be able to call me if she misses the bus or text me when she is at school safely etc

Just a bit of advice, Add your follow up comment in your original post or once It hits the page you'll just get a bunch of people telling you off for spying on her and not trusting her. They'll be going off topic.

If she misses the bus she can simply go into the school office and they’ll contact you. If she doesn’t get to school, they again should contact you to say she’s absent

Can she have a plan with set numbers she can call if it's a practical thing? Or a basic phone that isn't a smart phone?

Honestly reading my daughters msgs caused me nothing but arguments between us and stress for me. I’m much happier now I just let her go. I always remind her about online bullying, predators etc etc

As far as I know - not an option with OPPO. I can read my sons messages as he has an iPad and I have parental controls.

Maybe rather than spy on her you need to open communication with her, explain you need open access to her phone to keep her safe. My son is 12 going on 13 and into yr8 this year at school. We have an open phone policy. I have his password and all his apps link to an email address (mine or one we can mutally access). He knows I will check his phone and it's kept with me at night.
Its a hard topic but one most kids can understand the need of.
My daughter who is 10 also has a phone same rules, I've not yet needed to police her phone but again everything is backed up into my accounts.
If you are really worried, talk to an Apple technician as most androids don't back up an Apple product.
