Chess app that shows opponent's legal moves?

Hello, first time visitor.

My daughter is overseas and I wanted to help her learn chess while playing together over the phone. Learning the basic moveset for each piece is where she is right now, and while some chess apps have a feature showing the legal moves she can make, I've yet to come across one that can also show the legal moves an opponent can make with their pieces.

Any app recommendations with that feature would be greatly appreciated.

Chess.com has the option to show your own legal moves.

https://www.chess.com/settings/board

But no one can know all of your opponent's possibilities until you have a move selected.

( Example: You click on your rook and an opponent's bishop and before you confirm, you see the pop-up, "If you move your rook to take the bishop, your back rank will be open.")

Showing all the possibilities would be impossible without running an engine.

Not their possible next move, just the legal moves of each of their pieces.
