Are smartphones good for kids? Should I give my kid a smartphone or tablet? These questions give parents a dilemma. There are many good contents they can easily get from the Internet to help them study effectively. What if they use the device for negative things, like spending more time playing games than using it for studying? Cyberbullying is another thing that makes parenting more challenging. I found a very useful tool that can help you to monitor kids phone. You can let them explore the new skills through the smartphone but keep them safe. FamiSafe from Wondershare is one of the best parental control apps you can choose. It has all the features in one app.

How FamiSafe Keeps Your Kids Safe?

Block Website

When you search for content in the browser by typing a certain keyword, hundreds or thousands of websites will appear. Some of them may contain inappropriate content that may include gambling or adult sites. You can block harmful websites using FamiSafe feature called Web Filter.

Block And monitor Apps

One of the problems in giving our kids a smartphone or tablet is an addictive behavior. If you worry the kids spend too much time on social media and games, use App Usage & Blocker feature to control and monitor kids phone. This feature allows you to set the time limit for apps usage.

Prevent CyberBullying

One of the features that you might not find on the other parental control apps is Explicit Content Detection. This feature can help to prevent cyberbullying, inappropriate contents, harassment, etc. You can choose the contents you are concerned about on the list or add the suspicious words manually. Whenever those contents and suspicious words appear on any app of your kid’s device, you will get an alert notification.

Location Tracking

As parents, sometimes we are worried whether our kids are in the place they should be at the moment. For example, when they have to do a school project in a friend’s house. You can track kid’s location using Real-Time Location feature. Moreover, you can also use Geofences to make sure they are always in the safe zone. You will get alert notification whenever your kid steps outside from the Geo-fences you have set. This feature might only be found in FamiSafe.

Screen Time Limit

To make sure your kid does not overuse the phone you can set the limit using Screen Time Limit feature. All apps on the kid’s phone will not be able to be used after they reach the time limit. For better supervision, you can use Smart Schedule. This feature can help you to discipline your kid. You can create the schedule when they can use the phone and when they cannot. For instance, you can create a schedule for studying from 2 pm to 5 pm, then sleeping time from 9 pm to 7 am. During that time, all apps on the kid’s device cannot be accessed.

Suspicious Photos

The additional feature on FamiSafe that distinguish it from the other parental control apps is Suspicious Photos. You can use your kid’s photo to detect if it is used inappropriately by someone on the Internet.
