If you go to Content and Privacy Restrictions and turn it on, you can actually select "don't allow" for installing, deleting and in-app purchases. So if you've taken away an app that's already been downloaded, as long as this feature is turned on, they can't re-install apps. I also always require a password and my screen time password locks their account, so they can't make adjustments.

The iPhone SE (gen2) still gets iOS updates and is a very nice phone. Note that iPhone SE (gen1) is now end of life. I use the SE gen2 personally and its based on the iPhone 6S and its a great phone. I particularly like that its small size and long battery life and that I get all the iOS updates. The new iPhone SE (gen3) is also a good choice and has a larger screen and is also more affordable than a standard iPhone. It has the same exact OS but just not all the hardware bells and whistles of other more expensive iPhones.

I myself using 5s from end of 2013, same reason as you are. It does the same as larger and more expensive phones, but smaller and easier getting into the pockets. Just a battery started to die much faster. It doesn't get updates, so no unexpected bug will come to the phone.

So how does my phone work with all of this? I get the extra phone and how it’s great for seeing exactly what my child is texting, but I don’t want to carry around 2 phones with me at all times. Can I also use my own phone to at least make changes to downtime and limit apps, contacts, etc? If so, how do I setup the family sharing on my phone? The video seems to just show the child’s phone and the junk phone. Can you please give instructions with 3 phones? I also noticed that you were using the nice phone (child phone) to add an account and that there were already several accounts on the phone. Is my child’s phone supposed to be the hub for all the accounts, or were you implying that the nice phone in that segment of the video was now the parent phone?

I appreciate your in-depth and practical videos. I'm a Mac user, but we've always had android phones. We just got our oldest an iPhone because it's what the cool kids have. We're trying Bark, but even with Bark and screen time, we don't have near the controls and information that we have with Family Link. If Apple would at least make an Android app that would allow parents to manage screen time and family sharing from an Android phone, that would be helpful. For now I have to physically go to my MacBook to approve app installs, seems like Apple could make this a lot more practical for real parents, not just everybody who has only/all iPhones.

@erinsenel5363 2 жыл бұрын

Hi - I'm in a similar boat. Do you use family time to allow and block certain apps and Bark to mirror the messages? I agree android is so much better at this, but same situation that teens don't fit in without an iphone! Did you create them separate accounts or log into yours?

@FrankPiacitelli 2 жыл бұрын

@@erinsenel5363 I use Bark to monitor social and message activity, and also I use the schedule within Bark to block certain apps at certain times of the day. I use Apple Screen Time to block some apps before/after certain hours, and to limit time spent on certain apps. There's some overlap, it's not a great setup, and it's much more of a pain to adjust compared with Google Family Link. I do value the monitoring that Bark does. I remain really annoyed with Apple that the clunky Screen Time interface is deeply embedded in Mac OS and iOS, I think it's ridiculous that there's no Android app to administer the settings, or at LEAST a browser-based access option.

I am an Android user but we were forced to get the iPhone as you said it is the cool thing for kids nowadays I got an iPod to mirror everything my son does on the other hand with the screen time you can block any apps and pretty much make the phone useless at certain time. You can add or remove all the apps that are going to be working after a certain time example my son phone doesn't work from 10:30 p.m. to 7:05 Monday through Friday on those times I meant - night the only functions on the phone that are available to use are the phone to make a phone call and iMessage and iMessage I have it mirrored to the iPod so I can see everything he types and if he wants to be on the phone through the night be my guest at 8:00 a.m. on summertime and 5:30 a.m. during the school year he needs to be up and running like any other human being he's 17. He has three and a half hours daily for Snapchat two and a half hours daily for tick tock and 1 hour of Instagram using his words Snapchat is a texting app just like you would use to text your friends to , TikTok it's pure gossip funny videos wasting time and people can send you bad videos, and Instagram is used to stalk people if you will I hope it helps.

Thank you so much for this! I know many disagree with monitoring kids' screen activity, but it actually saved my kid's life. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me with some troubleshooting issues: 1. Why do we need Family Sharing to mirror? Can't we just set up message forwarding between 2 devices with same apple id w/o Family Sharing? 2. Why do we toggle off message on the icloud of 2nd device? 3. The second device won't let me checkmark the phone number, just the email in send & receive. When I try to checkmark the phone number, it keeps saying: "waiting for activation" 4. In my child's phone, the text message forwarding option sometimes disappears from the settings. I tried toggling imessage on and off but it doesn't change anything. 5. Also, why might there be a huge delay (a few days to a week) in the 2nd device receiving the messages? THANK YOU.

@FamilyTech Жыл бұрын

The family sharing part is just to manage the device. So you can approve app installs and set time limits, it's independent of the mirroring. The reason you toggle off icloud is so if a message is deleted on the child's device, that delete won't come through to the mirrored device. if it's syncing with icloud it will delete in both places. I'm not sure on #3. I have not encountered that issue. Maybe do a factory reset on the mirroring device and start over? On 4, your child might be disabling it? There shouldn't be a delay. It should be instant. So maybe check again after you reset the mirroring device and see if it's still an issue.

This information was somewhat helpful. All due respect, it’s difficult to say you want to help all parents, but them talk negatively about a device that is a big player in the market that’s also known to have better protection against hackers than android devices. That is a plus for Apple. My wife and I have Apple devices and family sharing, so it makes sense to get our 12 y.o. An iPhone. This video is outdated with iOS15 now available which addresses many of the issues you mentioned as of (I assume) iOS13, since you mentioned this in an example. Screen time can be managed, app downloads can be prevented altogether, share location can be enabled, settings can be protected by a code and of course the first line of defense is always going to be good communication and trust with your child. Thanks for the tip on the mirroring. I can see how that would work for text.

@FamilyTech 2 жыл бұрын

This video was created with iOS 15 already out. All of what I said is still valid. Parents can choose whichever device they prefer, but for the most comprehensive parental controls available, the child's device should be Android. I only talk negatively about it due to the limitations in the operating system to monitor the device. Apple can do much better here. Having said that. I completely agree with you. Good communication is an absolute must when trying to protect your kids on technology.

I'm trying to follow the directions to set up a monitoring device that you give around minute 9 on this video. On the kid phone, it has messages toggled 'on,' and send & receive has the phone number only checked, but when I go back to messages there is no place that says "forward messages" to toggle on. On the monitoring device, which is signed in to the kid's apple id (on both phones), messages is toggled "off," but when I go to send and receive it only has email as an option and not the phone number. What should I do? Thank you!!

@sarahwilson9694 Жыл бұрын

If it helps, the kid device is an iphone 6 with iOS 15.7.1 and is connected to a provider and has a phone number. The monitoring device is an iphone 6 also with 15.7.1 but is not connected to service and has no phone number. I tried adding her phone number to her apple account and it still is not showing as an option on the monitoring device- only the email is an option. Right now text forwarding is not an option or working....not sure why.

Could I please offer an alternative to this? You don't need to take away your child's privacy to keep them out of trouble. Just talk with them about dangers and ask them about their friends and make sure they aren't hanging out with the wrong crowd, but there's no reason to spy on them. The only thing you're doing by spying on them is teaching them to resent you. With a child and parent relationship, the key is good communication, not a parent spying on them.

Honestly, any teen living in 2022 would know their technology much better than the parent. I’m sure they’d find a way to do what they do. In fact, these teens are so tech savvy they would probably be able to have full access to their phone while cleverly masking the changes so the parent doesn’t see them.

I get the respect the privacy aspect. However, they are under the authority of the guardian until they are old enough to move on their own. Having children with so much access without some type of limitation is a scary idea. The things that are just a few types and taps away are endless and not always beneficial to them

Young kids are not entitled to privacy while accessing the world at large on their devices ! It’s like letting them raid your drinks and cigarettes cabinet and respecting their privacy! OMG or giving them the ok to just go out at night should they wish to… The whole point of privacy is not to take away what kids enjoy but to protect them from themselves and those that mean them harm which inevitably will take away something that they “enjoy”! But that is secondary to the protection offered them by their GUARDIAN aka parent! You privacy zealots have no common sense!

Great advice, thank you. All these children on here talking about what a parent should do. Wait til you have your own and then make the necessary decisions based on your experiences with your kids. As a First Responder, 911 Dispatcher I know all the dangers and crazies out there. There is nothing wrong with monitoring a minor who is so naïve and susceptible to the lies and traps people set up for them out there. If you make your child aware of the dangers, have an open dialogue, set up some ground rules, and let them know that you will be monitoring from time to time, there should be no trust issues on either side.

But on my kids phones, THEIR iCloud account is used to be signed into their phones. Am I doing this wrong? Did they change some of this since iOS 16 came out?
