Sophie A. · mother of a sonFrequently asked questions
Does the screen time limit work without the child knowing?
Parentsoft is designed only for lawful parental supervision and recommends transparency. Setting the limit together with your child is best for both trust and lawful use.
Is Parentsoft spyware?
No. Parentsoft is a parental control app that parents use to lawfully protect their own underage children; it cannot be installed on another adult's device and is not designed for covert surveillance.
SetupHow do I set a screen time limit on my child's phone?
You set a daily limit from the Parentsoft dashboard. When it's reached, apps are gently paused; bedtime mode also switches off night-time use automatically. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
DeviceDoes the screen time limit work on iPhone?
Yes. Parentsoft supports the screen time limit on both iPhone (iOS 12 and above) and all Android phones, including Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and Oppo.
AppsCan I see how long is spent in each app?
Yes. You see time spent per app, day by day, sorted from most to least; newly installed apps are flagged too.
LimitDoes the phone shut down completely when the limit is reached?
No. The phone keeps working; only the apps you limited are paused. Basic functions like emergency calls aren't affected.
AlertsWill I get a warning before the limit runs out?
Yes. Your child sees a warning 10 minutes before time is up, and you can get a notification at the same moment if you choose to.
PrivacyCan anyone else see my usage data?
No. Data is transferred encrypted and is accessible only from your account; usage records are never shared with third parties.
