Many parent control apps are more like Spyware and are often also exactly that, Spyware which spy on your Kids. Or Google Family Link is also a great example which you can’t remove even if you want too (as parent). I already setup a non-child-friendly blocking DNS and set the Age Limit in the Google Play Store and did all the Privacy related stuff, but I’m still thinking how can I make a Android phone more secure for children? The threads I’m talking about are non-child-friendly content, malware, scams, etc.

    I think an iPhone with ScreenTime would be better. They would def need to configure it out of the box but they only have to do it once and make a backup.

    Bonus points for the Shortcuts/automations app to help teach them about programming in an approachable way.
