Block websites - You can make sure that adult websites are blocked for the kids in your family. You can block specific sites, too—or choose which sites you want your kids to see.

Play time is important. Let them have fun, safely - You can allow your child to download apps and games appropriate for their age, and still make sure they don’t get anything they’re not ready for yet.

A window into their digital life - Get recent activity reports on sites visited, apps used, games played, and screen time. Or, check in online anytime.

Set good screen time habits - Together, you can talk about good habits and set limits on how much time they can spend with their screens.
