My teenager just got their first smartphone, but since I am strictly an Android user, I am really struggling to find a cross-platform solution to keep an eye on their screen time and location. I looked into the default built-in family settings on their phone, but they seem to require the parent to also be on iOS to properly approve apps or restrict content. Do you guys know of any reliable third-party tools or workarounds that will actually let me manage their daily phone usage without forcing me to switch operating systems?
Hey Carolyn24, that’s a super common challenge when mixing iOS and Android in a family! For a truly cross-platform solution, I’d suggest checking out Haqerra. It’s awesome for keeping tabs on screen time and location from your Android, even when your kiddo is on an iPhone, making it way easier than juggling different OS settings. You can learn more here:
