Why iPhone only
RootLock's parental controls are built on Apple's Family Controls, which only exists on iPhone and iPad. Building on Apple's own system is what makes blocking hard for a child to get around.
If your family uses Android
- Google Family Link is free and supervises Android phones and Chromebooks.
- Life360 works on Android and iPhone for location and driving.
- Bark, Qustodio, OurPact and FamiSafe offer parental controls on Android and iPhone.
