Photo Tracker

See the photos saved on a device you own or manage, to help protect children from inappropriate or risky images — handled with appropriate care.

Images are central to how young people communicate, and most of them are completely harmless — friends, pets, memes, selfies. But photos are also where some of the most serious online risks to children appear: pressure to share intimate images, unwanted images sent by others, or content that signals a child is in distress. The Photo Tracker lets a parent see the photos saved on a device they own, so these rare but serious situations can be caught and addressed.

This is one of the most sensitive features we offer, and we treat it that way. It exists to protect minors, full stop. It must only ever be used by a parent or guardian on their own minor child's device, or on a company-owned device under the appropriate, disclosed circumstances. It is absolutely not a tool for viewing another adult's private photos, and doing so is a serious violation of both the law and our Terms.

What the Photo Tracker shows

The protective purpose

The honest reason a parent uses this is to catch the situations no parent wants to imagine: a child being pressured into sending images, or receiving content from someone who means them harm. Spotting this early can stop real damage. For the everyday flood of ordinary photos, you will mostly be reassured — which is itself valuable, and a reminder that the goal is safety, not surveillance.

Almost everything you see will be ordinary teenage life. The feature earns its place in the rare moment it helps you protect a child from genuine harm.

Handling sensitive content responsibly

If you ever encounter an image that suggests a child has been exploited or is in danger, the right response is not to handle it alone — it is to contact your local law-enforcement or child-protection authorities, who are equipped to act. Do not share or forward such material. Our role is to give parents visibility; protecting children at risk is a job for the proper authorities.

Our boundaries

We restrict this feature to lawful child-protection use. We do not support or condone its use to invade an adult's privacy, and misuse will not be tolerated under our Terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Photo Tracker feature.

Who is the Photo Tracker for?

Parents and guardians protecting their own minor children, and lawful, disclosed use on company-owned devices. It is not for viewing another adult's private photos.

What does it show me?

Photos saved on the device, with timestamps and flags for new additions, presented in your private dashboard.

Will it show photos that were deleted?

Images captured before deletion remain in your dashboard, so deleting a photo on the device doesn't remove your record of it.

What should I do if I find a harmful image of a child?

Do not share or forward it. Contact your local law-enforcement or child-protection authorities, who are equipped to handle such material lawfully and help protect the child.

Will the person know their photos are monitored?

That depends on settings and local law. For children we recommend age-appropriate transparency. Covertly viewing an adult's photos is illegal and against our Terms.

Does it include photos received in messaging apps?

It captures photos saved to the device. Images within specific apps are covered by those apps' monitoring where supported.

Is the photo data stored securely?

Yes — encrypted in transit and stored in your private, password-protected account. See our Privacy Policy.

Does it work on Android and iPhone?

Yes, on Android and on iOS devices you own or manage, with platform-specific setup.

How often do photos sync?

New images sync regularly so your dashboard stays reasonably current.

Can I turn this feature off?

Yes. If you prefer not to monitor photos, you can leave the feature disabled in settings.

Does it capture videos as well?

It focuses on photos; video coverage depends on the platform. Check the install guide for details.

Is it legal to monitor a child's photos?

It is lawful for a parent or guardian on their own minor child's device. It must never be used to view another adult's private photos without consent.
