iOS parental controls are awful. The only way to get any decent control for my concerns that the moment is using the downtime features all day long. Effectively I've told iOS that he should be in bed for 23 hours and 55 minutes a day. It's ridiculous and extremely limiting.
Microsoft's parental controls are sort of ok. I also have separate control software for Windows and I have controls at the router. Of course, none of things can talk to each other to create a coordinated plan (say giving X number of screen time hours per day).
- scarface_74 3y agoiOS controls effectively block adult sites and you can manually add sites to block and not allow apps being installed without your permission. What else do you need?
- wvenable 3y agoSome control over when certain apps can be used.
- scarface_74 3y agoThat has nothing to do with “protecting the children” from sites you don’t want them to see or apps you don’t want them to use at all.
- wvenable 3y agoBut does have everything to do with parental controls. Besides the easiest way to know what you kid is doing online is to watch them -- much easier to do if I control when they use it.
