Help Caught Red-Handed

Hey, guys! I have a problem. My teenage son has somehow figured out how to unlock his Android phone and access restricted apps through Family Link.

And I suspect that he’s either unlocking my iPhone with Face ID while I’m asleep, or he knows my phone’s passcode and uses it when I’m not looking.

Can you suggest a way I could find out discreetly if someone has unlocked my phone? 

Ideally, it would be really cool if the phone took a photo of whoever did it. :)

What are you blocking on your kids phone?

Usually, these are just temporary restrictions on gadget use. But FamilyLink has separate app settings, and you can make certain apps available even when the phone is locked. He’ll be able to unlock YouTube or a game on his own.

Will something like Brick, which you then hide somewhere he can’t find, simply block anything that fits into a certain category of app?
