How can I monitor my kids iPhone?

We've rounded up 13 apps you may want to consider so you can make sure your kids are safe.

A quick Google search will uncover how to manage and monitor your child's or teen's iPhone activity. But sometimes it's not easy to know whether a particular app truly does what it says it does, especially if they're for children.

We've selected 13 great apps we've found in the iTunes store that do what they say. All are available in the iOS App Store. There are many more excellent apps, of course.

Kids' rights organizations like The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and state health departments recommend that children use cell phones and other technology differently from adults. Parents can play a huge role in developing healthy media habits and behaviors through the use of good monitoring software (and regular conversation), but you may also want to monitor how your kids use their devices on their own as well. We reviewed the following five apps for iPhones on our team: NetNanny, KidsGuard, KidzBiz, Pajiboy and KidsKiller. All are free.

The NetNanny and KidsGuard apps are specifically geared towards parents of younger children, but can certainly work with older kids (and adults). NetNanny has a family plan. NetNanny has more features. For younger kids, NetNanny allows to set a curfew on the device, which is a good way to help keep a child from leaving the house before the designated time. The NetNanny parental control app helps parents block all apps and websites and set rules based on a child's age (including what age a child can use a specific app).

With KidzBiz and KidsKiller, there are fewer parental settings (and no option to specify for particular age levels) but the apps can still block apps and sites based on child's age. KidzBiz blocks app access, but KidzKiller blocks the installation of apps.

How Can I Monitor My Child's iPhone?

If you are new to the world of technology and your child has a smartphone, you may be concerned about how he or she is using the device.

The smartphone allows for a wide range of communication and entertainment options, which can also be dangerous if not monitored. One of the first things you need to consider is to monitor your child's iPhone. This is an important step in protecting your family from possible cybercrime and to ensure that your child's privacy is being protected.

Monitoring Your Child's iPhone. To monitor your child's iPhone, you will need to download the free App called Family Locator from the App Store. You will need to enter your login information and then wait for the app to detect your child's iPhone. You will need to set up the app to allow only family members to access it.

Once the app detects the iPhone, you can see the approximate location of the iPhone as well as the phone call and text history. If you want to monitor your child's activities on the device, you can check the Activities option and scroll down to see what apps your child has installed. You can also see what pictures, videos and other files he or she has stored on the device.

If you do not want your child to have any access to the phone, you can choose the Restricted option. You can also remove the apps that you do not want your child to have access to and/or delete the content of the phone.

How Can I Monitor My Child's Smartphone?

How can I monitor my child's iPhone for free?

As I watch my child playing a video game on her iPhone, how can I ensure I'm monitoring her health and safety, while simultaneously finding a way to avoid wasting money?

Thanks. Answer: You will certainly need your child's password. If you have any concerns regarding her use of technology while watching over her, you might require that she wear a device and/or have her sign consent before being allowed to play a game that has real consequences. (Remember not all kids are able to make good decisions, even adults.) In addition to that, there may be times that you are concerned about what they are seeing.

Apple does not provide access to parental settings in an "intelligent" way and for very good reasons. While it would be nice, it also would place a lot of responsibility and trust on the parents. The only thing Apple could do would be that when she has reached a certain age, Apple decides that is the time that the password is turned on or something to that effect. When this happens you are simply giving the child permission to use the technology, as such I personally would wait until your child is an adult before doing anything at all. Once she is old enough you may have to just trust she knows what to do. Even if her privacy and safety is being monitored through technology at home, if she were to walk into a friend's house and access it, she would not have anyone watching her. Again that is why it is so important that we teach and train our children about responsibility and trust. You know your child, in most cases, better than anyone. If you think she is not ready to handle any technology, the answer might be no. For example if she was born after 1985 and still in diapers, she might not be considered developmentally ready to own, use, or be around any technology like a smartphone. However, if she is two, three, or four years old and has mastered potty training, she should be able to manage. She needs a device, but you have control over what she has and how it works so keep an eye on it.

It is never too early or too late to learn the important values of responsibility, honesty, and safety. By age five, kids can be using computers and accessing the Internet for educational purposes. But it's never too early or late to reinforce the fundamentals for their lifetime.
