TrueNotification — parental control, built in India, live on Google Play
A transparent Android app from MediaByteX. WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, calls and SMS alerts on your child's phone are mirrored to yours in real time — with their knowledge. Screen time, app usage and battery sit on one parent dashboard.

TrueNotification questions
What is TrueNotification?
An Android parental-control app by MediaByteX. When a notification lands on your child's phone — WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, calls, SMS — it appears on yours in real time. It also reports screen time, app usage and battery. The child can see the app is installed.
Where do I download it?
Google Play (search TrueNotification Parental) or open truenotification.com. Parent and child both install the same app, then pair with a 6-digit code.
Is it hidden spyware?
No. It shows a persistent system notification on the child device. It is for parents and legal guardians on a device they have authority to manage — not for secret monitoring.
Do you read call logs or SMS bodies?
No. Call and SMS alerts come only from the notifications already on screen — the same alerts the child sees.
Can you build an app like this for my business?
Yes. TrueNotification is a live Play Store app we designed, built and ship. If you need a similar real-time dashboard, pairing flow or family-safety product, see our Android app development page or WhatsApp the office.
