Best parental controls app for iPhone in 2024?

3w ago1 min read

Got my 12yo their first iPhone and I want to lock it down properly without being crazy about it. Tried Apple's built in Screen Time but it feels clunky. Someone mentioned OurPact or Life360 but I'm not sure if those are overkill. What do you guys use? I want to be able to see what they're doing but also give them some privacy, you know? Any recommendations would be clutch.

Screen Time drove me nuts too when my oldest got hers. A lot of dads I know use OurPact or Kaspersky Safe Kids - they feel more intuitive and don't make you feel like you're being a total jerk about boundaries.

Jay H. here - I've got four kids so I've been through this rodeo. Honestly, I switched to Bark after Screen Time frustrated me too. It's way less clunky and gives you the control without feeling like you're running a prison. Definitely worth the look.
