This is a handy feature that really helps to ensure child safety in the digital age.

It’s also possible to see all incoming and outgoing calls, meaning it’s easy to detect and block suspicious contacts. The premium version of Qustodio lets parents read the messages that their child sends and receives. If necessary, parents can also block or set a time limit for certain apps. Although communications between users on these apps are not revealed by the company, it indicates when and for how long the app was used. Once a child starts using an app, it automatically appears on both the dashboard and timeline. In addition to tracking internet activity, all social media networks and apps are covered by Qustodio, such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, SnapChat, and more. Another handy feature is the ability to keep Qustodio hidden on desktop devices so children can’t tamper with the settings or think about downloading a VPN to bypass the web filters that you set. Qustodio emails real-time alerts for any suspicious behavior, not to mention that it’s possible to know how trustworthy and child-friendly each site is by using the timeline. The dashboard allows parents to see what websites their children visit, get call and messages alerts, and check time spent on each activity. It’s also possible to add specific websites that might be unfairly blocked by the category rules. All the usual ones are there, like profanity, violence, and adult websites, but the loopholes category is a great way to prevent your child from trying to find a clever way around these restrictions. The platform has an extensive website category list that lets users choose between having categories blocked, monitored, or allowed.
