Google Family Link (Remote App Lock)

I can understand you. At 16 I installed Norton Family on my Windows PC using a one time password I didn't remember. At that time, I really struggled with adult content. I also considered to ask my mum for setting parental controls on my devices. Still, I had concerns that she can check my browsing history, which had made her aware of my sexuality. (My mom is conservative).

If you want to protect your child from watching adult content, you should also keep the privacy of the child/teen in mind. Using a porn blocker is fine without recording the browsing history. For teens having family link installed, the parent cannot check the browsing history on the parent's device. Therefore, family link for teens should be ok.

 

Yeah, I agree with you regarding family link. The porn blocker, which can be activated using Family link, works quite well in my opinion. Still, the parent needs the teen's device to check the browsing history. By the way, I never let my mom control my devices. I just considered this case. Because of privacy issues I never asked her to install parental controls.

 

I think this feature would be great. Still, I would appreciate that enabling of such a feature needs the teen's consent .

 

Is there a way of doing this on your own with only one phone ? (be both parent and child but lock parent with password in a lockbox)
