Family screen time, covered

From social media to gaming, start managing your kids' online activity to support healthy screen time and overall wellbeing. Aura Parental Controls allows you to restrict internet access and limit screen time on your child's iPhone, iPad or Android phones and tablets.

Peace of mind with simple digital safety for your family

When it comes time for your child to get their first phone, we know a lot of parents ask the question: “how can I monitor my child’s iPhone from my iPhone?” Aura is the answer. Whether your child has an iPhone or Android mobile device, Aura gives parents a way to block websites and apps like Snapchat and TikTok and parents can see a complete report of which blocked sites their kids have tried to access.
