Recent versions of both Android and iOS don't let you grant permanent location privileges to an app during installation. Kaspersky doesn't handle this process quite as adeptly as Norton Family, my gold standard on the Android side, but it does ensure that you get all the necessary permissions checked. You can easily dismiss these suggestions if you don't find them helpful.įrom there you simply install the app on your kid(s) device(s). This kind of thing is present throughout the Kaspersky app, and while it doesn't rise to the level of guidance that Net Nanny offers, I do think it's a nice touch. Differing phrases are offered depending on the age of the child. Kaspersky gives parents some dialogue cues or talking points for explaining to a child why you are installing a parental control app on their device. Once you've logged into your My Kaspersky using either the web portal or the mobile app, you can then create child accounts by adding a name, year of birth and either an avatar or photo for each child.

Kaspersky Safe Kids: InstallationĪs with most of these services, you should first create your own Kaspersky account. If you need Kindle Fire support, you'll need to look to either Net Nanny or Qustodio. Kaspersky Safe Kids supports virtually all the major platforms with Android, iOS, Windows and macOS. The paid features include advanced screen-time management, a child locator, a battery tracker, social-network monitoring, YouTube search history and real-time alerts so you know the instant something is wrong. Upgrading to the Kaspersky paid tier gets you additional features, and given the low yearly cost of $15, the paid option is certainly worth considering. Other freemium options like Qustodio and OurPact offer somewhat comparable features for free, but Kaspersky outdoes them by covering an unlimited number of child accounts and devices, while the others limit monitoring to just a single child and device. It includes web filtering, app management, basic screen-time management and a new safe search in YouTube feature.
