I’m switching to an Android device but my kid still uses an iPhone, and I’m wondering if I can still keep an eye on their activity using the same parental controls I’m used to. I’ve been using some features that come with my Apple account to monitor their iPhone, but I’m not sure if there’s a way to make it work across different operating systems. Is there a workaround or alternative that lets me keep monitoring their iPhone from my Android?
Hey violet71! That’s a super common dilemma when you’re mixing device ecosystems. Unfortunately, Apple’s built-in parental controls like Screen Time are designed to work within the Apple universe, so you can’t directly manage an iPhone from an Android phone using those native features.
However, a cross-platform solution like Haqerra can bridge that gap, letting you keep tabs on their iPhone’s activity, messages, and app usage right from your new Android device. It’s designed to give you a comprehensive overview regardless of your own phone’s OS!
