    We gave our kid their first proper smartphone when they had to do a bit of travel to get to school. However, I’ve fully embraced the parental controls of Google family link and Microsoft safety and it’s been great so far. The combination of both provides incredibly granular controls to what they can see on the web, how long they use specific apps and what apps they’re allowed to install.

      I’ve got complaints about Google family link’s limits. They don’t work right.

      This is on the family tablet.

      As for phones, my kid will get a phone sometime after they ask for one, likely when I upgrade mine. (Unless it’s a forced upgrade due to gravity or water)

        What’s wrong with the screenshot? I have no idea what the numbers mean but I’d guess 28min is how long the app was opened, and 20m is how much video was watched?

          Oh, yeah, it’s set for a 20 minute limit, it was used for 28. Limits are supposed to be uh, limiting.

            Oh, yeah. So one’s the limit, the other the actual? Yikes.
