Safely Phone Controls, available in Google Play as Sprint Mobile Controls, is a new Android app that helps partners control their kids’ Android smartphones. Now we do realize kids have the right for privacy just like adults, however they are not necessarily that savvy and perhaps not as disciplined.
According to Safely user data, 63% of teens text in class and 65% send texts late at night. Safely Phone Controls provides parents with personalized awareness of how kids use their mobile devices-and the ability to regulate that use. For instance, parents can block texting or games during school or after bedtime, or receive alerts when an unknown person contacts their child. To date, more than 80% of subscribers have set up recurring alerts or blocks, and the service has sent parents over 3.5 million notifications.
Using Safely Phone Controls parents can:
- Regulate use by automatically disabling certain features during pre-set times
- Stay informed by getting alerts when kids are contacted by a stranger or add a contact
- Instantly lock phones from the Android app or computer
Safely Phone Controls on Sprint is built on Location Labs’ mobile platform, and is available for $4.99 per month, per phone.
