Qustodio offers you the opportunity to get to know the social media platforms your children are using so that you can ensure they are age-appropriate for them.
You can see when your child accesses major platforms like TikTok and Snapchat, and receive notifications if they begin using a new app.
On your child’s timeline, you can see a history of your child’s social media app and website use in chronological order. On their dashboard, you can see a summary of how long they spent on each platform, filtered by day, week, or month. You can also receive daily and weekly activity reports straight to your email inbox.
Set up alerts:
Also, Qustodio offers a Social monitoring tool that uses AI to help you stay informed when your child discusses potentially concerning topics on WhatsApp, Instagram DMs or LINE, such as bullying, self-harm, school absence, or health worries.
If a concerning topic is detected, you’ll receive an email, a push notification, and a notification on your child’s dashboard.
To help you better understand the context, Qustodio will also provide a snippet of the conversation, including who your child was chatting with.
