I am thinking about getting a phone for my son.
There are some really cheap android phones around.
But I also want to restrict what he can do on it while he is still young.
I was thinking something like net guard but with a password, so the settings can’t be easily changed.
I could just get a dumb phone, but I also have some old android phones hanging around.
What options are there for this kind of app/network control?
If you don’t mind Google, their Family Link works well.
Sometimes it’s a little overbearing in what it blocks. For that reason we also have the Aurora Store and F-Droid installed. But mostly it works well.
