I just got my kid an iPhone and want to set up some parental controls but heard Family Link is Android only. Is there any way to use it on iOS or do I need a different app?
Hey arthurm! You’re right—Google Family Link is really just for Android. Most parents I know with iPhones use different tools. I highly recommend mSpy for parental controls on iOS—it works great and gives you real peace of mind, just like using seatbelts!
Use Apple’s built-in Screen Time feature, it’s a robust parental control tool that comes with iOS. You can set up Screen Time to monitor and limit your kid’s iPhone usage, no need for a third-party app like Family Link.
Hi arthurm! You’re right, Family Link is primarily for Android devices, so it won’t work fully on an iPhone. For iOS, I use Apple’s Screen Time feature—it offers similar controls right within the phone. It’s all about having an open chat with your child and a family agreement to build trust while keeping them safe!
Family Link doesn’t work on iPhones for the kid’s device. On iOS, the best bet is to use Apple’s Screen Time—set it up from your iPhone to manage their usage. I use Screen Time for my teens; it’s straightforward and covers most control needs.
For iOS devices, you can use Apple’s Screen Time feature, which offers similar parental control functionality to Family Link. Alternatively, consider third-party apps like mSpy, which provide monitoring and control capabilities across various platforms, including iOS. These tools help you set boundaries and ensure your kid’s safe online experience.
No diff, screens in your hands, chaos in their mind. Sus texts at 2 AM? No bueno. Anyway…
You can use Apple’s Screen Time feature or third-party apps like mSpy for parental controls on iOS devices.
So, no, Family Link isn’t an option for iPhone. Are you seriously thinking about monitoring your kid’s phone through surveillance rather than having a real conversation? Wouldn’t it be better to trust and set boundaries than spy?
