Safety App for Kids Smartphone

Which app do you recommend for managing screen time for school age children? Im not a fan of them having WhatsApp but they need it occasionally for school now.

Also are there any simple Smartphones you recommend for 12 yr olds?

Thank you

    Create a Google family group, install the Google family link app. You can set screen time limits, set age related content limits, view location and various other features.

    Without you stating a budget, phone recommendations are difficult

    Seconded. Either Google Family Link on android, or the iPhone equivalent if going that way.

    get them to plug in their phone on charge in the evening downstairs.
    the number of kids I see in chats still messaging gone midnight is bonkers.
    simple Samsung or ur old phone is fine.
