Love your videos! Very helpful for protecting family members especially when they are young and not mature enough yet. I wish I saw your videos before purchasing a iPhone for my son while we use android phones. I just realized how difficult to manage iPhone with android. Thank you! We may have to replace his iPhone with android phone. Thank you again!

Are you in IT? I havent seen your channel before. This is my first time watching one of your videos.

Thanks for the video, very informative. The only thing that's making me consider an iPhone for my kids, is the fact that they provide longer support than any Google device. Additionally if they break a screen somehow is cheaper on iPhones at times.

I had tried iKeyMonitor parental control app, which tracks the smartphone of my little son. It has a free version.

When I updated my phone I kept my previous phone google pixel 5. Do you have a video on setting up android phone for a kid that is not a pinwheel or trueme

We purchased a Samsung phone for our child but cannot figure out how to disable gifs in Samsung messages. We toggle them off but they can simply hit the settings button within the keyboard and turn them on again. Is there a way to remove this possibility for them?

my 12 yr old constantly bypasses my communication controls, I don't know how she does it remotely through her phone but she does. She also bypasses my parental controls regarding App Store and app downloads. How can she be doing this? I am considering android now.

I want to know all the cons of iOS, you have that covered somewhere?

[RayDeLuca]

You can Lock the Apple Device at anytime, Also you can remove the app after installing it, And the big one is Android phones will track ever place you have been EVEN WHEN THE PHONE IS OFF NETWORK !!!! Also remember Apple has a no track policy GOOGLE makes the internet bucks by tracking you ever second EVEN WHEN OFF NETWORK it uploads all your tracking info once you connect to a network even for seconds

I want to protect my sons iPhone…Already got open DNS, should I get both Qustodio and Verizon Safe family. They both seem to do many of the same things. Any benefit to having both?

All of these pros on iphone can be achieved through 3rd party apps

[exposures]

You DON'T have to have iOS device to manage your kid's device. I'm on Android and for managing my kid's iPhone I just open screen time in Settings and do whatever I need. It's locked by the PIN anyways.

SO HAVING AN ANDROID PHONE I CAN NOT CONTROL AN IPAD USING THE FAMNILY LINK APP?

[Wit-da-]

U can bypass almost any thing with android, so kids get that u can root it and change the MAC address in termux allowing you to use Wi-Fi even if it’s shut off

[Auroramystic]

Your cons on Apple are dumb everyone in America uses an Apple product most family’s and my classmates use a Apple product I didn’t think you can airdrop on an android

Basically how to control your kids 101

Giving your child an iPhone is equivalent to child abuse.
