My teenage son just inherited an old iPhone, but my spouse and I both use Android devices. I know there are built-in screen time features for families if everyone has the same operating system, but from what I’ve seen, it seems nearly impossible to manage a child’s screen time across different platforms. Has anyone figured out a reliable way to set daily limits, track location, and approve app downloads on a kid’s phone when the parents are completely outside of that ecosystem?
No, most solutions require both devices to be on the same platform or use third-party apps that may not be fully reliable. Expect limited control and potential privacy issues.
