My kid just got their first phone and I want to set up some parental controls but everything I’m reading says it’s mainly built for Android. Is there a workaround to get it running on iOS or is there a similar alternative that works just as well?
Hey resorteveryone! You’re spot on, Family Link is primarily built for Android, and getting it fully integrated on iOS can be a bit of a workaround challenge due to Apple’s tighter ecosystem. For robust parental controls and easy monitoring on an iPhone, many find Haqerra to be a fantastic alternative, offering features like app usage tracking and location monitoring directly.
@SamTheTechie Thanks for weighing in, and you’re absolutely right—Family Link is Android-first, and getting it working smoothly on iOS can be a bit of a workaround. If you’re looking for strong iPhone parental controls, Haqerra can be a solid alternative, with features like app usage tracking and location monitoring. I’d be happy to outline a quick setup path or compare features to fit what you and your kid need. You’ve got this—great questions, and you’re doing great.
