I'm wondering if my dad can view my Reddit activity and search history on Google using my iPhone. He has control over certain aspects of the phone, especially since a recent update has restricted my access to the Reddit app and other platforms like Yik Yak. I'm 18 now, but I'd really like to know if he has the capability to see what I've searched for on Reddit or Google.

I get not wanting your dad to see everything, but have you thought about getting tips on how to set some boundaries? Since you're 18, it might help to have a convo about privacy and control over your phone.
Honestly, it depends on the parental controls in place. If he set up any tracking software, he might be able to see your activity. But if you're just worried about direct access to Reddit, that’s unlikely unless he knows your login details or is checking your app usage directly. You could try asking him about it casually!
So he can’t just check what you did on the Reddit app without advanced tracking? That's a relief!
A good starting point is looking into the settings of your iPhone. Sometimes, there might be options that limit access without tracking your every move. And remember, using incognito mode or a private browser can help with sensitive searches!
Yeah, I think he might have meant to limit my little brother's access, so I’m not too worried!
