My kids, even the 9 year old, organise with their friends via iMessage, so YMMV on that... Teach them it's a tool and guide them on how to use it responsibly.

- ChuckNorris89 4y ago>My kids, even the 9 year old, organise with their friends via iMessage That's mostly an American thing. >Teach them it's a tool and guide them on how to use it responsibly. Don't know about your kids or your childhood, but I always did what was cool and not what my parents told me is responsible.
- iasay 4y agoI'm in Europe... My childhood was irrelevant as was yours. Time changes.
- ChuckNorris89 4y ago>I'm in Europe... Then how do your kids communicate with those who only have android devices? That's a big social issue among teens in the US. iMessage is never popular in Europe, as everyone here uses cross platform apps like Whatsapp, Telegram, Snapchat, etc. due to the lower market share of IOS vs Andorid. Your case seems like an outlier.
- iasay 4y agoI have WhatsApp as well. None of our kids have Android devices as you can't control them adequately.
- ChuckNorris89 4y ago>Android devices as you can't control them adequately What's missing on Android that Apple has for control?
- iasay 4y agoone browser engine across the whole platform and white listed content filters.
- cowtools 4y agoWhat prevents you from just using your own browser with your own parental safety controls, and then sand-boxing the user from installing other apps?
- iasay 4y agoSome of the auto updated apps have a history of adding circumventable embedded browsers in about boxes and things on Android which can be used to browse the internet. This happens on iOS too but the browser engine is safari and is subject to the same white lists as normal Safari. This is a fairly large security concern if I'm honest generally.
