A question parents have heard all year long: “When can I have a smartphone?”. You might consider getting your kids a smartphone for Christmas. If you haven’t bought your children one yet because they’re too young, or you’ve only let them use flip phones that don’t have Internet access, now may be the best time to let them have a smartphone.
If you have decided which smartphone to buy, it is necessary to think about how you will manage it in the future. Check out the following two tips to manage your kids with smartphones properly to avoid risk exposure.
1. Parental Control Apps
Buying a smartphone does not mean giving them full responsibility 24 hours a day. You can keep your children away from danger and addiction by setting time limits so that they do not interfere with learning or sleep, or by making a list of apps that they cannot access. In particular, in the case of iOS, you can control your children’s cell phone use time by setting screen time without installing a separate app.
2. Family Safety App
It’s a big worry if you can’t pay attention to your child 24 hours a day, such as while riding the school bus or riding a bike around the neighborhood. In this case, what you need most is a GPS tracking app.
In particular, iSharing is a GPS app that can be tracked 24 hours a day, so the whole family can use it with peace of mind. iSharing has the following features.
- Real-time location: 24-hour real-time location tracking anywhere in the world
- Location alert: Location notification when you arrive or depart from the set location
- SOS function: SOS function that lets you know your location in case of an emergency
- Driving alert: Check real-time speed if you are in the vehicle currently being driven
