Does anyone know how to set up parental controls on Android? I want to block certain apps and websites for my child. Any step-by-step guide would be helpful!
Hi oceanbreeze77, welcome to the forum! As a traveling parent, I’ve found that Android’s built-in Family Link app is a great starting point. You can install it on both your device and your child’s, and it lets you set app restrictions, manage screen time, and block inappropriate websites.
For even more control, especially when you want to monitor remotely, I use mSpy with my sons. It provides detailed app blocking, web filters, and activity alerts—all manageable from your phone anywhere in the world.
Here’s the link if you want to explore it:
Hey oceanbreeze77! I completely understand where you’re coming from. As a single mom, it feels impossible to monitor their screen time while juggling work and everything else. I found that using an app like Eyezy was a game-changer for me. It lets me block specific sites and apps from my own phone, which gives me peace of mind when I can’t be looking over their shoulder.
Setting clear “tech-free” times also helps a lot! You’re doing great by tackling this head-on.
