How do I block apps on my child's smartphone or tablet?
There are two ways Family Zone allows parents to block apps.
One is to block an entire category of app - social media, or games, for example. The other is to block individual apps - Snapchat, say - while allowing others in the category (Facebook, for example).
For certain age groups, some categories are blocked automatically. Users under age 13, for example, are blocked by default from accessing social media apps.
Parents may choose to change blocked app settings temporarily or permanently.
The solution: Family Zone
Family Zone’s strong, flexible parental controls allow you to manage individual games or apps, or block entire categories.
Alerts & advice
Ratings, reviews and advice from your chosen expert on the apps your child has downloaded. Plus flexible, real-time alerts that allow you to be notified every time your child downloads a new app
Block social media apps
Users under the age of 13 are blocked by default from accessing any social media apps
Block distractions during study
During certain time periods, specific apps or entire categories can be blocked. For example, during study time, when games and social media are disallowed.
Allow selective access
Parents who allow gaming during play time may still want to block access to one or a number of specific games using Family Zone’s individual app control features.

There is no doubt that protecting and regulating our kids’ online activity is one of the major challenges of today. I urge all parents to engage in their kids’ online world. Installing parental controls is a key step forward.
Internet Safe Education
Parents have a right to know where their children go and who they communicate with. Parents whose family have been devastated by online issues who now use monitoring or filtering software would do anything to turn back time . They have told me so. Family Zone is an essential piece of the cyber safety formula.
