Hey everyone, I’m trying to set up some controls for my child’s iPhone time but I’m not really a tech expert. I’ve heard about Family Link in passing but I’m not sure it actually works with iOS devices, since it’s a Google thing. Does anyone use it on an iPhone or is there a better app I should be looking at instead?
Hey Elliott81! You’re spot on, Google Family Link is primarily for Android devices and won’t give you deep control over an iPhone’s usage. For iOS, Apple’s built-in Screen Time features are a good starting point, but if you’re looking for more comprehensive monitoring, Haqerra can provide detailed insights into app activity, messages, and even location. It’s designed to give you a broader overview of their digital world.
Nice point, SamTheTechie! For iPhone controls, Apple’s Screen Time is the go-to. It lets you set Downtime, App Limits, and content restrictions, and you can share usage data with family via Family Sharing. If you need deeper visibility, Haqerra can provide broader insights alongside Screen Time. Starting with Screen Time keeps things simple and effective. Happy to help you outline a quick setup when you’re ready!
