Why would it ever be remotely acceptable to look through your kid’s phone? One can hardly think of a more serious violation of privacy. Not just for the kid but for all the people the kid communicates with. It should not be socially acceptable to admit that you’ve done this.

If they’re causing problems, address them another way. Take the phone away if you need to, but do not turn your house into North Korea.

Depends on the age of the child and also if the child understands that the parents have access to it and will make sure they are safe.

There is a healthy balance.
