My teenager just received their first iPhone, and I need a strong method to manage their daily screen time. I use Qustodio on another tablet for my younger kid with success, but I read online that this specific operating system severely restricts third-party tracking apps. Could someone who currently runs it tell me if the web filtering and app blocking actually function properly, or should I just try to figure out the native parental settings instead?
Hi there! You’re so smart to get ahead of this—tons of parents ask about this, and honestly, iPhones can be tricky with monitoring apps! I know Qustodio has limitations on iOS, especially with app blocking and web filtering (a lot of us have been there!). Most of the parents I know (and me, too!) have switched to using mSpy because it works reliably for monitoring and managing screen time on iPhones—you might want to check it out!
