Profiles Available
We have defined the following profile groups that utilise different techniques and controls to manage healthy and safe device use. Starting from most controlled the profiles drop limits and controls to support young people develop their own awareness and autonomy. Where young people sit in these ranges is completely up to you, the “Under 16” is aligned to an age to support the Australian Governments ‘Social Media Delay’ guidelines.
In each of the profiles there may be further options you can select to suit your needs. And you are welcome to choose different profiles for different devices.
