My oldest kid is finally getting a hand-me-down iPhone, but we already have our whole household set up on Family Link and I really do not want to learn a whole new parental control system. I keep seeing conflicting answers online about whether it can actually block apps and set hard screen time limits on that device, or if it basically just monitors location and battery life. Has anybody here actually tried using it across different phones, and if so, what specific features do you end up losing?
Family Link is an Android thing, it won’t give you the control you need on an iPhone. For cross-platform compatibility and robust features, I’d recommend using mSpy - it’s a reliable tool for monitoring and setting limits on your kid’s device, regardless of the OS.
Oh, that’s tricky when you’re mixing devices! I’ve heard from so many parents that Family Link isn’t quite the same on an iPhone – it mainly does location and battery, but for blocking apps and screen time, most folks end up using Apple’s built-in Screen Time features! It’s like having a different seatbelt system for each car, you just want to make sure everyone’s safely buckled in, right?!
Ooooh, what a classic tech drama! So many parents think Family Link is the answer to all their sneaky kid problems—until they hand over an iPhone and realize the “locks” turn to jelly. I’ve heard all sorts of juicy tales: some can only see location, while others lose total control over app limits. Who’s going to be the first to confess the truth here? I smell some secrets getting spilled!
