[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you use Apple products, the screen time feature within Apple is quite good.  You can block specific websites.  So you could block your daughter accessing Instagram from the internet browser.  And of course you can control all apps and how much access they have to any you allow.[/quote]

But then there is brave and duck duck go and other browsers that escape detection. It’s a tough battle. Screen time is so hackable it’s a joke. Anything from changing clock times to get more time or doing a multitask app select (Ie. Half swiping up) stops the app count and they could still watch the whole video without using any screen time etc. we have tried everything from net nanny to qustodio and they say they can’t prevent it. (We wrote to them and finally realize it is useless and cancelled the service)

In short, you have to have conversations and or battles with your teen.

They go on all platforms it’s like whack a mole. And once they installed it the first time even if you turn off and disallow install apps under screen time restrictions, they can re download it freely. Qustodio does track and notify you on the app reinstall but that’s about it. :(
There is also finsta Ie. Fake instas that is open to public eyes (and parents) and another one they actually use. [/quote]
