ESET Parental Control

We understand how challenging it can be to set healthy boundaries for your children online. With the increasing use of smartphones and tablets among kids, ensuring their safety has never been more important—or more complex. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive parental control solution designed to give you peace of mind while keeping your child safe in the digital world.

Key Features to Keep Your Kids Safe Online

1. App Guard: It’s no secret that many kids would spend every waking moment on their phones if given the chance. With App Guard, you can set daily time limits for gaming and restrict usage during school hours or at night. The app automatically manages access to games and ensures only age-appropriate content is available.
2. Web Guard: When browsing the internet, children may accidentally come across websites containing fake news, violent material, or adult content. Web Guard helps safeguard your child's online experience by filtering out inappropriate web pages and keeping them focused on safer content.
3. Child Locator & Geofencing: If your child hasn’t returned from school and isn’t answering calls, Child Locator allows you to check their phone’s current location instantly. Plus, with Geofencing, you’ll receive a notification whenever your child enters or leaves a designated area on the map—giving you an extra layer of awareness and security.
4. Battery Protector: Worried about your child’s phone dying when you need to reach them? Battery Protector helps ensure they stay reachable by limiting game usage when the battery drops below a certain level.
5. Instant Block & Vacation Mode: If your child needs to focus on an important task instead of playing games, use Instant Block to temporarily disable entertainment apps. On the flip side, if they’ve earned some extra screen time, activate Vacation Mode to suspend time limits temporarily.
6. Exception Requests: Sometimes rules feel too strict. If a new app gets blocked, your child can request an exception directly through the app. As a parent, you can quickly approve or deny these requests with just one tap.
7. Remote Management via my.eset.com: Want to adjust settings without touching your child’s device? Simply log in to my.eset.com from any PC or mobile device to manage rules remotely. Parents using Android smartphones can install the app in “Parent Mode” to receive instant notifications and stay fully in control.
8. Device Status Check: If you’re unable to reach your child by phone, the Devices section lets you see whether their phone is offline or simply on silent mode—so you always know their status.
9. Multi-Device Protection: One license covers multiple devices, so your entire family stays protected—whether they use one tablet or several smartphones.
10. Detailed Usage Reports: Want to learn more about your child’s digital habits? Our Reports feature gives you detailed insights into their app usage, interests, and total screen time.
11. Multilingual Support: Language isn’t a barrier. The app communicates with your child in over 30 languages, making it accessible and easy to understand for families around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the app rating low?

Please note that children are also able to rate the app. Not all of them are happy with its ability to filter content that might seem appealing to them but is completely unsuitable. While this may impact the overall rating, our commitment to providing a secure digital environment remains unchanged.
