Avast Family Space for parents - Parental controls

Avast Family Space is a parental assistance app that gives you control over your child’s mobile devices so you can keep your child safe and help them develop healthy online habits.

Keep track of which sites and apps are safe and which aren’t by whitelisting or blacklisting them, and by easily filtering certain content automatically. And just because you might be in lockdown doesn’t mean you can’t limit your child’s online time. Simply adjust when they can access the internet on their device.

Avast Family Space makes parenting even easier by also allowing you to track the location of your child’s device, receive GPS alerts when they arrive at a certain location, and check their phone’s battery status to make sure you can always reach them.

Keep your child safe:

✔ Content filters

Keep track of the apps and websites your kids use the most. If you see an activity or a website that's not age-appropriate, you can block it right away. You can even approve or block categories of websites or apps.*

✔ Phone locator

See your child’s location on a real-time GPS map. Your child can also send their location at any time to confirm when they leave or arrive at certain destinations like home, a friend’s house, or school.

✔Pick your children up safely

Get requests from your child for a car pickup. If you accept, you and your child can see each other on the same map until you’ve picked them up.

✔ Phone status

Keep track of the battery status of your child’s device to make sure you can always get in touch with them.

✔ Internet control

Use Pause Internet to ensure your child isn’t online after bedtime or set time limits for when their device shouldn’t have access to the internet.

✔ Screen time

See how much time your child spends on their device, and in each app.
