Looking for a way to set up additional security on your children’s devices? Then we might have the solution for you - you can hide Qustodio on Windows and Mac computers associated with your account.
Due to technical limitations, it is not yet possible to hide Qustodio on mobile devices (Android, iOS and Kindle devices) so we recommend that you sit down with your child and discuss what rules you will establish and why. Take a look at our handy digital agreement as a starting point and add your own rules as needed.
What happens if I select Hide Qustodio on a computer?
Normally, when your child tries to access a blocked page, a safety screen appears to let them know the content is restricted. If you activate the ‘Hide Qustodio’ option, this screen will no longer be shown. Instead, your child will be redirected to the Google Search homepage.
In addition, by opting to Hide Qustodio, the Qustodio 'Q' icon will no longer be shown on the task or notification bar.
When you have Lock Navigation enabled, a lock screen will still appear in the browser to let your child know it’s time for a pause.
If Qustodio is hidden and you have selected the option to Lock the Device once your child reaches their time limit, they will simply be logged out of the computer.
