What are some other ways to help keep my kids safe online?

‍ Talk about safe online behavior: Online safety requires regular communication with your child. The Aura Digital Talk provides resources and tips to help families with children of all ages feel more comfortable approaching this topic.

‍ Update privacy settings: Most apps, social media sites, and even gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch and Playstation have privacy settings you can update to limit who can interact with your child. Check the service or manufacturer’s website for specific information on changing privacy settings.

‍ Learn about your device’s built-in settings: For example, Apple iOS devices allow parents to restrict app downloads, change privacy settings, and filter content (music, movies, apps, and TV shows) based on content ratings.

Enable SafeSearch and other kid-friendly features: You can update your web browser (such as Chrome or Safari), search engine, or even YouTube (under YouTube Kids ) settings to help prevent your child from stumbling onto adult content.

‍ Educate yourself about social media use and trends: Knowing how your kids use apps and social media sites can help you proactively protect them against online risks and dangers. Read more about social media safety for kids .

When should my child get their own phone?

When should I start using parental controls?

A good time to consider using parental controls is when your kid gets their first device or smartphone or starts using a device without supervision.

Aura’s parental controls help you to understand and control your child’s activities on their devices. For example, you can block inappropriate content, set time limits for specific apps and receive notifications when they go over, view their web browser history, and get insights into their online activity.

Kids today are surrounded by technology and their relationship with it changes over time. At times, you may want to consider adjusting your parental controls settings for each child’s account. Aura Parental Controls are flexible and customizable making them a great tool for kids of all ages.
