You realize these apps give strangers the ability to monitor your child’s phone? The company is running an MDM server and has unfettered access to the phone via the MDM APIs. They may choose to offer parents a subset of that access in their Ui for the purposes you present above, but the fact remains they basically fully control your full consumer device. Do you think that is an appropriate level of access to grant? Parents don’t need to switch to Android, they have tools built into iOS that offer the features they need without essentially giving away the device to a third party company.
