Children carry smartphones everywhere—when they're out for a walk, at school, at activities, and so on. And phones can distract them from what they're actually doing. Furthermore, Android and iOS smartphones can allow them to view inappropriate content or spend too much time online. Therefore, it's important to limit your child's online activity on their phone. This section contains the best parental control apps designed to monitor and block your child's activity on their smartphone or tablet running iOS and Android.

 

KIDCONTROL

The app is primarily designed to monitor your child's location and surroundings. It can't block content or send reports on internet activity. However, it will always let you know where your child is and with whom at any given moment. The app acts as a kind of GPS tracker, constantly displaying your child's location on a city map. It also stores their location history, so you can see exactly where your son or daughter was yesterday.

 

Conveniently, you can set up specific locations to receive a notification on your phone when they're visited. This way, you can find out whether your child attended school today or whether they've visited any prohibited areas. The app can also activate the smartphone or tablet's microphone so parents can listen in on what's going on around their child colornjoy.com/products/rainbow-squad-coloring-water-bottle-cartoon-character. A major advantage is the SOS button, which, when pressed, alerts all relatives and provides their location. You'll have to pay to use the app, as the free version has limited functionality.
