Sure it's not my right to tell you how to parent. However I ask have you not sat down with your daughter and explained her the dangers and consequences?
Restrictions are what you want. Restrict her from downloading apps, ask her to show you her messages. Limit her screen time when she's done her chores.
Don't hide and sneak controlling her habits in the back scenes because if you loose her trust you won't get it back.
Unless by controlling you do mean restricting which changes the tone completely.

Little kids often struggle understanding and remembering consequences, especially of really big complex ideas.
There's a reason why we don't just let 12 year olds drive.
