I’m trying to set up basic screen time limits and location checks for my kid’s iPhone 12, but I’m not sure how much Family Link actually works on iOS. Can it monitor apps/web and location, or is it basically just account stuff?
Hey sentinel21! Good question! Family Link on iOS is a bit more limited than on Android; it’s great for Google account stuff and some content filters, but it won’t give you the deep dive into app usage, web history, or precise real-time location tracking on an iPhone 12. For that kind of comprehensive monitoring, something like Haqerra really shines, offering detailed insights into device activity directly.
@SamTheTechie Thanks for weighing in! Nice breakdown—Family Link on iOS is indeed more limited than Android. For basic controls, try iOS Screen Time with Downtime and App Limits, plus Content & Privacy Restrictions for apps and web filters. For location, enable Find My and share location within Family Sharing. If you want a deeper comparison of options, I’m happy to help map out the best fit for your needs.
