Why KidsGuard Pro Is Better Than Google Family Link?

• Social Media Activities

With Family Link, you can restrict how much time your kid can spend on a certain app. However, you cannot see what exactly they are doing in the apps. Social media is where kids are highly active, and KidsGuard Pro lets you check on all the activities your kids are doing on all popular social media apps. For example, you can track WhatsApp messages, view Snapchat story, read Facebook messages and more

• Location Tracking

While Family Link lets you check on the location of your child's device through GPS, KidsGuard Pro is one step ahead. Even if GPS is turned off, it can track your child's location with Wi-Fi location tracking. Not just that, you can set a Geofence, and if your child's device goes beyond the fence, you will get a Geofence alert instantly.

• Browser History

Family Link does not have the option to check on your child's browser history. This is a major drawback that you can overcome with KidsGuard Pro. You can check all the details of your child's browsing history secretly. Therefore, you can know what he is surfing and take action accordingly.

• Photos and Videos

KidsGuard Pro allows parents to check on the gallery of their child's phone remotely without them knowing. Parents can conclude if kids are up to any inappropriate behavior or accessing mature content by checking on shared and downloaded photos and videos. Family Link lacks this important feature.

• Calls and Messages

You can check call logs, messages, as well as contacts and get an idea about your child's friend circle and what they are up to. Family Link does not have any such feature.

• Remote Control

You can record calls and take a real-time screenshot as well as take photos with your kid's phone camera remotely. There is no remote control feature on Family Link. These remote control features are essential to track the activities of over-smart kids.

KidsGuard Pro has no restriction, therefore, you can monitor your kid's phone activities at any age.

Q5. Why should my family use KidsGuard Pro or Family Link?

Parental control and parental monitoring are essential when children are young and using a smartphone with an internet connection. They easily get distraction in the online world, and this distraction can be harmful and drive the kids on the wrong path of life.

Parents can restrict their activities on the phone and keep them on the right path. Besides, checking on their phone activities helps parents to take further action and provide parental guidance.

Q6. What should I say to my child before installing KidsGuard Pro or Family Link?

Rather than controlling and monitoring your child's phone activities secretly, it is always a good idea to discuss everything with your kids before giving them a smartphone or tablet. Make your kid aware that you will be tracking and monitoring their phone activities and explain to them how to use the device responsibly.

Explain to them what you are tracking with Family Link or KidsGuard Pro, and they should not remove these apps without permission.

Q7. How to choose between KidsGuard Pro and Family Link?

Family Link is a free app, and you must use it for parental control. Parental control includes limiting screen time, restrict apps and websites, and blocking mature content. But Family Link app is not sufficient.

You must also use KidsGuard Pro for parental monitoring. Parental monitoring includes tracking all the activities on your kid's phone, starting from calls, messages, photos and videos to social media activities, browser activities and location tracking.

KidsGuard Pro is a must if your kid is above 13, as Family Link won't work for kids above 13 years of age. Ideally, you should choose both, but if you have to choose one, it should be KidsGuard Pro as it offers a complete solution.
