If it is already difficult to control what children and adolescents do on the computer, even more, complicated is knowing what use they give to their mobile phone. For this reason, there are applications that parents can install on their own devices to monitor the online activity of their children, and then we will mention 4 of them.
Qustodio
One of the most popular among adults, as it brings together a group of outstanding features that keep them abreast of what they watch and do their children on their smartphones. It is also possible to use Qustudio from its web version.
Among the things that can be monitored are:
- The name of the contacts of the received and outgoing calls, as well as the text messages that come in and that the children send.
- The content of the searches that children do from the leading social networks.
- Know the location of children by pressing an “emergency button”.
- The possibility of limiting the use of some applications in the children’s phone as a function of time, for example, making them use Facebook only two hours a day.
- One of the most common important: block sites not suitable for minors.
To use these and more features try Qustudio on your Android or iOS device.
TeenSafe
An app very similar to the previous one, but with a more straightforward interface. The functions it has ranged from blocking adult sites to seeing the contacts in the children’s phone book. It is not a free application, but it has a free trial for seven days.
Best of all, kids will never know that their parents are using this app to track their calls, monitor their web search history and understand where they are all the time.
