Norton Family Parental Control

Parental controls for everyday device use

Norton Family Parental Control is designed for parents who want to guide how children use phones, tablets, computers and the web. It brings web supervision, screen-time controls and activity reports into a parent-focused dashboard, making it easier to set boundaries across a child’s connected devices.

Web, video and school-time supervision

The app can help filter unsuitable websites and show browsing activity, giving parents a clearer view of the content a child encounters. Its School Time mode is intended for lessons and homework, limiting access to educational sites and selected categories during scheduled periods. Video supervision can also provide visibility into YouTube activity on supported devices and browsers.

Schedules, locations and device access

Families can use screen-time tools to create breaks from device use, including an instant lock for meals, bedtime or other screen-free periods. Location supervision and arrival or departure alerts are available for parents who want notifications when a child reaches or leaves defined places. These controls suit households that prefer clear rules and regular check-ins over completely hands-off device use.

What to expect

Norton Family Parental Control has a practical, information-led design and is built to manage more than one child or device from a central account. Its range of permissions and settings may take some time to configure, especially for parents setting up supervision across different platforms. The app is published by NortonMobile and has 1,000,000+ installs, with a 3.27/5 rating from 26,302 reviews.
