What Nirror is
Nirror is a free service that helps parents monitor notifications received on children’s Android phones. Nirror Sender captures messages, replies and images appearing in notifications, including alerts from WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Messenger and other apps that send notifications to the phone. Parents view captured notifications through a web account on a computer, tablet, iPhone or Android device. Setup involves creating a parent account and QR code, then scanning it with the monitored Android phone to connect Nirror Sender. The sender requires notification access; the site says it does not request account passwords or modify the phone system. Registration uses Google sign-in and collects a Google ID, name and email for account management. Captured notification data can remain on Nirror’s servers for up to 90 days. The free plan includes notification monitoring and web access, and accounts can add as many phones as desired.
