Block Apps on iOS & Android

With Family Zone, you can easily manage individual games or apps, or block entire categories

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.

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.
