Not the teenager’s phone. The parents paid for it… and continue to pay for it through the subscription of cellular service. Unfortunately any attempt to keep the parent out would be accurately described as theft or destruction of property.
No. Android doesn’t. Google does. But not everyone wants to have anything to do with Google. Some OEMs do, like Samsung. But it’s not in AOSP or basic Android feature. But my point wasn’t to spy on the kid. It was device ownership.
Well, by that logic the parents can do whatever they want with the phone, yes, including stopping cellular service or resetting it entirely. But the OS would still protect the teenager’s data from unauthorized access.
Seems like it will fulfill its purpose then - to protect said teenager’s data.

I think if parents need that much control then Android has features for parental control. I think 🤔, it’s admin mode or something
