We strongly recommend that parents talk to their kids about how they'll use BrightCanary monitoring. Hiding monitoring from your child is likely to be viewed as a violation of trust.

The BrightCanary Keyboard looks and behaves like the default keyboard on your child’s iPhone or iPad. It won’t interrupt their experience on their iPhone. Note if you’re on the Text Message Plus plan: After setting up BrightCanary text message monitoring, your child's iCloud account may receive an email from Apple indicating that a device has logged into their account (that’s us).

We encourage parents to maintain open communication and a partnership with their child. Make it clear that monitoring is a condition of your child using their device, and the level of supervision they need will change as they grow older and demonstrate greater responsibility.
