About this app

Bitdefender Parental Control offers digital help to parents and extra online safety to children.

Download and install the Bitdefender Parental Control app across your children's devices to easily manage and monitor their online activities using the Bitdefender Central platform.

Set up healthy, age-appropriate online habits for your kids and review their activity with the array of features tailored to promote a balanced digital lifestyle while preventing overuse and exposure to inappropriate online content:
āœ” Content filtering
āœ” Internet time management
āœ” Location tracking
āœ” Preset and customizable routines
āœ” Rewards and Internet time extension
āœ” Safe Search and YouTube restricted mode

Content filtering. Use the predefined, age-appropriate filtering categories to prevent exposure to inappropriate content or make your own adjustments to guide good online habits.

Internet time management. Control the allowed daily internet time limit across your child's devices and reward extra screen time for responsible online usage.

Location Tracking. Make sure your kids are OK even when they're not by your side. Track their location so you always know where they are.

Preset and customizable routines. Children strive when they have routines they can follow. You can set up Focus time, Family time and Bedtime routines to create a tailored schedule for each of these activities.

Safe Search and YouTube restricted. Remove explicit and harmful results from search engines and videos to ensure results are age-appropriate.

Note
Bitdefender Parental Control requires a VPN connection to provide Content Filtering and Safe Browsing functionalities.

Doesn't appear to work on Google Pixel 7 Pro. Continual warning that it needs to be updated in Bitdefender Central, OR my restricted profile appears to vanish on the Central website, to then return soon after, and restricted content is accessible on phone when it shouldn't be. Then the app appears to block content it shouldn't, such as the BBC and other perfectly safe websites and internet traffic for messages. I've ultimately removed it, as it's impeding internet access when it shouldn't.

For iPhone 12 mini an app is not tracking almost anything, only phone contacts of the child. Customer service response time is longer than a week with general information, which doesn't resolve an issue. Response usually would say that an app might not work for all models. If an app is not suitable for iPhone, which is widely used globally than what is the point to offer this kind of service.

I am a bitdefender user. I paid for the annual subscription. I thought your parental app would be better than google family link. I was wrong. 1. It can be uninstalled easily 2. It can be deactivated by turning off accessibility and using battery optimizer to not run it in the background. 3. It doesnt work - i tried setting it up on 2 gadgets. Both screentime and daily usage feature did not work. Even the locate feature doesnt work. I tried this on android phones running on android 8 and 9.
