Family Allowances seems to be some kind of joke
I'm looking into Family Allowances because I want to restrict my 10yo daughter from using her phone until early hours of the morning. She seems to be addicted. We take it away from her in the eve...
Just so I'm on the same page with you @rglaus, are you looking for something that'll block the devices built-in functions to be blocked? Nuestra Permiso familiar is designed to restrict the phone from using services on the network. Unfortunately, we don't have a feature that we offer if you're trying to block them from accessing the phone's internal features.
I have an 8 and 9 year old and decided to get them cell phones. I signed up for the Family Mode and immediately installed the apps on both phones. I then set bed time and wake time limits on each phone through the app. And what do you know...at 9pm nothing on their phones worked. Even connected to Wi-fi they weren't able to text, watch youtube, play games...nothing. They were not happy but I was oh so happy.
