How can I manage the parental control of my daughter s iphone from my android mobile or my PC laptop?

I want to buy an iphone to my 14 years old daughter, but I need to be able to manage the parental control of my daughter's iphone from my android mobile or my PC laptop (i do not have an apple device, but i have an apple account) with 3 different goals :

1) to set up a limit of time by application (instagram, youtube, whatsapp,...)

2) to set up a bedtime

3) to enable her to access a limited number of apps 24h a day, even during bedtime (deezer the music streaming app ; pronote the french app for her homework, ...)


how can I do it? Could you please help me, as nobody seems to be able to answer my question, and this is urgent to me and her, because she broke her phone and I need to buy a new one very quickly, probably this week end in 2 days.

Best regards.

iPhone 14

Bonjour lolo_73,


Le contrôle parental d'un iPhone enfant n'est possible que depuis un iPhone ou iPad parent. Impossible depuis un autre écosystème.


Vous pouvez paramétrer le contrôle parental via Temps d'écran sur son iPhone directement, mais c'est relativement facile à contourner à partir du moment que votre fille à le code du téléphone, respectivement le code du compte Apple.

Bonne journée !

Note that if you want to get replies in English you should normally post on the main communities support web site where there are many speakers of English. --> https://discussions.apple.com/


This very question had a response from an Apple support person here --> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253768434


You may not be getting a "solution" because Screen Time can only be configured using Apple equipment. In your case you would have to use your daughter's device to do the managing. If, for example, you are using Ask To Buy to require your child to ask your permission before she makes a purchase, you would have to approve this using her iPhone. Apple has very limited support for doing cross-control and sharing of things on non-Apple devices.


Here are a collection of support articles about this topic. Although the titles may appear in English, clicking on the links should resolve in a web page in whatever language to which you have set your country in account settings.

The key thing to remember is you need to remember the passcode you use and she should not know it.

You can still participate in some features using an Android device, should you have any interest in doing so --> Use Family Sharing with Apple Music on Android - Apple Support

merci Kestral pour votre prompte réponse. Pourtant quand je demande au service support d'apple par téléphone, ils m'ont assuré que c'était possible mais la personne m'a envoyé des liens support apple qui ne réponde pas précisément à la question. Du coup c'est un vrai sujet pour moi, un support téléphonique qui me dit oui mais pas de ressources en ligne qui me dit comment faire précisément, et vous qui me dites que ce n'est pas possible, et merci encore... Comment faire?
