The Best App Blocker and Parental Control For iPhone

As technology becomes an ever-integrated part of our everyday lives, it becomes more and more for parents to be aware of the relationship that technology has with their children. Some children are averaging around 4-7 hours, which is resulting in them becoming fairly disconnected from the real world.

Instead, parents should be educating their children on how to have a balanced life where they can enjoy the benefits and entertainment that technology provides, as well as staying healthy and active both mentally and physically.

This is why it's so important to know about parental control apps and the features they can bring into your family life. Today, we're going to explore everything there is to know about FamiSafe, one of the latest yet feature-rich parental control apps and iPhone app blocker solutions there is.

Features to Look for In Parental Control Apps

There are two main features that a decent parental control app should provide; blocking and filtering.

Blocking is where you have the ability to block access to a feature or app, so your children can't access it. This stops them from "binging" or excessively using the app and then able to take a break.

The second feature; filtering, is designed to stop your children from accessing unsuitable content which is not acceptable for their age range. This can include pornography, gambling websites, violent material and inappropriate games.

All these features can be broken down in many different ways and can be supplied using various methods, so let's explore how FamiSafe, the best iPhone app blocker, handles it.

FamiSafe - The Best App Blocker and Parental Control For iPhone

Since FamiSafe comes with a dedicated app blocker function, you'll be able to choose when and if your children have access to their apps. For example, if they're at school, you may wish to disable access to all apps until they are on their lunchtime.

This way, you can make sure that your child is able to concentrate and can focus on what they're doing. 

If your child is misbehaving and you've threatened to take away their game privileges, you can also block access to an app immediately by simply tapping a button on your own phone.

Note: While FamiSafe is installed on your child's device, the parental version will be installed on yours. This is so you can make all settings changes no matter where your child's phone is.

Additionally, to make things easier, you'll also be to set up a schedule. This is where you can decide for each app the times of day that the app can be accessed for. For example, you might want to block Facebook during study time between 7 pm and 9 pm.

You may also want to block all apps at bedtime, so your child can sleep properly. This is all possible from the FamiSafe app. Likewise to app scheduling, you can also carry out the same process for the entire device. So, if you want to completely shut down the phone during bedtime (or any pre-set hours), this is entirely possible.

Why FamiSafe?

In addition to this iPhone app blocker feature, FamiSafe also comes with a range of other features that you can explore and benefit from. Some of the best are listed below.

  • Real-Time Location Monitoring

Using the GPS tracking technology inside your child's device, you'll be able to track your child's location in real-time. This is so you know exactly where you are, as well as making sure they are where they should be.

You'll also be able to see all your child's location history for the past few days and even set up geofences that can send you a notification if your child enters a certain area.

  • Remote Control

As we mentioned above, unlike other parental control apps, you won't need access to your child's phone to make any changes. Instead, you can simply apply the changes on your own device, and they'll be enabled instantly, no matter where your child is.

  • Web Content Management

There's a lot of dangerous content out there on the internet that your child might be exposed to. Instead, this feature allows toggling content filters that can block out certain types of content as you please.

Also, you'll be able to tap into the URL of a certain individual website to block it completely. You can even set it up, so you receive a notification if your child does try to access the website, even when it's blocked.

Summary

As you can see, FamiSafe is one of the most powerful, most feature-rich iPhone app blocker and parental control solutions out there. It's available for both Android and iOS devices and comes with everything you need to be a responsible modern parent.

What's more, there's even a three-day free trial so you can test out the app for yourself, so you can make sure it's right for you!
