Capture Screenshots on Demand

FamiSafe Screen Viewer lets parents remotely capture a screenshot of a connected child's screen to get visual context about current device activity.
• 
Take an instant screenshot from the parent side when you need to review the child's current screen.
• 
Use screenshots as additional context for conversations about apps, games, websites, or other on-screen activity.
• 
Avoid treating a single screenshot as proof of harmful behavior; review context and talk with your child when something looks concerning.

Schedule Automatic Screenshots

Set Screen Viewer to capture screenshots automatically while the connected child device is in use, so you can review screen activity over time.
• 
Scheduled screenshots can be set at intervals from 2 to 30 minutes, depending on the current Screen Viewer mode and device support.
• 
Choose the capture interval for supported automatic screenshots while the child's device is active.
• 
Review a sequence of screenshots to identify patterns that may be worth discussing, rather than judging an activity from one image alone.

Flag Potentially Inappropriate Content in Screenshots

Screen Viewer can help surface screenshots that may contain sensitive or inappropriate visual content for parent review.
• 
When supported detection identifies a potentially inappropriate screenshot, it can be flagged for the parent to review.
• 
Use the "suspicious filter" to group flagged screenshots in a gallery for easier review.
• 
Automated detection can assist review, but it may not identify every risky image correctly; use the result as a signal rather than a final judgment.

What is FamiSafe Screen Viewer?

FamiSafe Screen Viewer is a parental screen-monitoring feature that lets parents capture screenshots from a connected child's device. It supports on-demand screenshots and scheduled captures on supported devices, helping parents review visible screen activity without continuously live-streaming the screen.

On supported iPhone or iPad child devices, Screen Viewer requires the device-side permissions and Screen Broadcast setup described by FamiSafe. Once configured, parents can use supported screenshot modes from the parent side. If Screen Broadcast is not active, screenshot availability can be limited.

Yes. FamiSafe currently supports scheduled screenshots at intervals between 2 and 30 minutes on supported devices and modes. Manual instant screenshots are also available. Device state, permissions, and platform restrictions can affect whether a screenshot is captured.

After the Android child device is connected and the required permissions are enabled, parents can open Screen Viewer from the parent side to take an instant screenshot or use supported scheduled captures. Screenshots flagged as potentially inappropriate can be reviewed from the Screen Viewer gallery.
