Yes, kids can record calls on some phones using built-in features or apps. Screenshots during calls may also work depending on the device. It’s not unusual, but parents should be aware since it can involve recording conversations without the other person knowing.

I’ve seen my child use “WDYM” in messages, and I’m not sure what it stands for. Can someone explain what WDYM means and how it’s typically used in conversations? I’d like to understand common texting slang so I can better follow what my child is saying online.
