Question 1

Can FamiSafe see Snapchat messages?

Accepted Answer

You can use FamiSafe to monitor Snapchat, but you can’t see your kids’ messages. FamiSafe’s social app detection feature monitors your kid’s Snapchat for inappropriate content and alerts you when your kid sends or receives it. It doesn’t let you read your kid’s chats on Snapchat, but you’ll get the full sentence where the inappropriate word or phrase was used.

Its app monitoring feature also allows you to see how often your kid has accessed Snapchat and how long they have used it in a given session. You can also set usage limits on Snapchat, so your kids can only use it during certain hours or for specific lengths of time. Finally, if you don’t want your kids using Snapchat, you can block it entirely.

Question 2

Is FamiSafe free?

Accepted Answer

No, FamiSafe only offers paid plans, but you get a 3-day free trial with its annual plan. The free trial includes all of FamiSafe’s paid features, but you can only monitor 1 device during the trial and only get reports for the day. It’s still a pretty good way to test FamiSafe’s features.

FamiSafe also offers a monthly plan that covers 5 devices and a quarterly plan that monitors 10 devices. Plus, all of its paid plans come with a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Question 3

Can my child delete FamiSafe?

Accepted Answer

No, your child can’t delete FamiSafe. If your kid tries to delete FamiSafe on any device, they’ll be asked to enter your account password or a 4-digit PIN (which you create when you first install FamiSafe).

Since you need to give FamiSafe administrative privileges on mobile, you can’t delete it like you would a typical mobile app. You have to instead navigate into your device’s settings to uninstall FamiSafe — something kids might struggle with. However, even if your kids manage to guess your PIN or account password and successfully delete FamiSafe, you’ll be issued a notification on your own device saying FamiSafe has been uninstalled.

Question 4

Can FamiSafe see my screen?

Accepted Answer

No, FamiSafe can’t see your screen. FamiSafe can monitor the apps your kids are using and allow you to set limits on those apps. For example, you can choose how long your kids can use a particular app for and during what hours they can use that app.

FamiSafe also includes web content filtering, so if your kids try to visit an adult website, they won’t be allowed to, and you’ll receive a notification saying they attempted to access a blocked site. My only complaint is that FamiSafe doesn’t allow your kids to request access to a blocked website.

Question 5

Is the FamiSafe app safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FamiSafe is a legitimate app that’s safe to use. It’s made by Wondershare, a trustworthy company that also makes video editing software, PDF readers, and more.

However, if you’re unsure whether FamiSafe is a safe app, you should consider downloading an antivirus program. An antivirus program can scan apps for malware and viruses and alert you if they’re unsafe.

Question 6

Does FamiSafe monitor phone calls?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FamiSafe provides call monitoring on Android and iOS. It shows you all of your kids’ incoming and outgoing calls and call duration, and you can even block certain contacts.

Question 7

Can FamiSafe read text messages?

Accepted Answer

FamiSafe monitors messages on Android and iOS. On Android, it lets you read all of your kids’ text conversations, and it even monitors for inappropriate keywords in 15+ content categories like bullying and drugs. On iOS, it only allows you to read your child’s texts and iMessages.

Question 8

Does FamiSafe work on Chromebook?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FamiSafe works on Chromebook. However, it doesn’t offer an exclusive Chromebook app. To use FamiSafe on Chromebook, you need to download the Android app from the Google Play Store on your Chromebook. FamiSafe also supports Windows, macOS, iOS, and Kindle.

Question 9

Can FamiSafe see incognito history?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FamiSafe can see incognito history. I tested this on my Windows 11 computer by performing searches in incognito mode, and FamiSafe successfully logged and blocked filtered websites. I also performed the same tests on my Android and iOS phones, and FamiSafe still showed all incognito history. That said, FamiSafe doesn’t alert you that your kid is using incognito mode (and it doesn’t allow you to block it entirely). Qustodio lets you block incognito browsing.

Question 10

Is FamiSafe detectable?

Accepted Answer

FamiSafe is detectable on most devices. Since FamiSafe is considered a device monitoring tool and not a spying tool, your kid will be able to see a notification on their device’s status bar saying FamiSafe is running. However, if you’re running FamiSafe on your computer, FamiSafe will only appear as an icon in your system tray — so your kid is less likely to see it.

Question 11

Does FamiSafe have GPS tracking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, FamiSafe offers both location tracking and geofencing, and they worked really well in my tests. FamiSafe tracked my test phone with pinpoint accuracy and alerted me if the test phone left a preset area. FamiSafe also offers a Driving Report feature, which monitors your teen when driving and logs their driving time, highest speed, distance driven, and more.

Question 12

Does FamiSafe drain battery?

Accepted Answer

FamiSafe drains the battery on your kid’s device when you’re monitoring their location. However, FamiSafes provides a warning for this on the location tracking map, saying that you should only use the location tracking feature for a short time.

FamiSafe had a 0.94% impact on my device’s battery life when using the parents’ app. Most apps (including Facebook and Instagram) have a 3-4% impact — so FamiSafe really isn’t that bad in comparison.
