It presents an ongoing, social-style feed of your children’s activities including their screen time, social activity, searches and app installations, so you can instantly keep tabs on what everyone is up to. It’s called the Family Feed, and it can be seen in Net Nanny’s parent apps and parent dashboard. Net Nanny takes inspiration from social media for one of its biggest features. ![]() (Image credit: Net Nanny) Net Nanny: : Ease of use for parents If Net Nanny encounters a social media app it doesn’t natively monitor, it routes children to the app’s mobile site, which is an awkward workaround. The process for setting up custom filters is complicated, which may prohibit tech-averse parents from getting full control, and more pre-configured filters would have been welcome – some apps, like Qustodio (opens in new tab), have almost twice as many. Net Nanny’s filtering is excellent, but it’s not perfect. You can even see what your kids are searching for on YouTube and use a link to each video to check its content. There’s a dedicated profanity filter, and it saves, monitors and blocks searches from Google, Yahoo and Bing in real time – and can monitor chats for inappropriate conversations. Net Nanny analyses content in real-time, so it’ll block inappropriate sites in your chosen categories while still potentially allowing kids to access purely factual pages like Wikipedia, and the app’s fifteen pre-configured categories can be bolstered by individual website and keyword blocking and the ability to set up your own custom filters. Parents can allow content to be viewed while a log is kept – or choose to be alerted to flagged content or block the content entirely. Net Nanny’s filtering blocks content on the biggest web browsers and uses fifteen different categories, including big topics like pornography, drugs, gambling and violence. The filtering doesn’t just work on social media services. Net Nanny’s AI-powered filtering works on social media apps including Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, so there’s great scope for monitoring the main apps that your kids are using.
