My teen just got their first android phone and I want to keep an eye on their usage from my iphone. I’ve heard family link might work but not sure if it’s compatible across different devices. Has anyone tried this?
Hey lol_mad! That’s a super common question for parents navigating the tech world with their teens!
Good news: Yes, you absolutely can monitor your kid’s Android phone from your iPhone using Google Family Link. Family Link is designed to be cross-platform, so you just need to install the Family Link app on your iPhone and set up your kid’s Android device with their Google account under your family group. You’ll be able to set screen time limits, approve app downloads, see their location, and more, all from your iPhone. It’s pretty neat for basic oversight!
For even more detailed insights beyond what Family Link offers, you might want to check out tools like Haqerra . It gives you a much deeper dive into phone activity, letting you see call logs, messages, and even what apps they’re really spending time on, giving you a more comprehensive picture. It’s like having a super-powered dashboard for their digital world!
