Bitdefender Parental Control: Protect Your Child’s Smartphone with Tango

It’s a big day: are you about to give your child their first smartphone?

Tango is here to support you through this important milestone with Parental Control by Bitdefender. This comprehensive solution helps you manage your child’s digital activities and keep them safer online, while giving you greater peace of mind — without stretching your family budget.

First smartphone: finding the right balance between freedom and online safety

Getting their first phone opens up a whole new world of freedom for your child. But it can also raise some understandable concerns for parents. What kind of content will they come across? Will they spend hours on their favourite apps, even late at night?

Today, children can encounter very real online risks, from cyber threats such as phishing and malware to age-inappropriate content. Spending too much time in front of a screen can also affect their sleep and concentration.

Tango offers an accessible, practical way to help address these challenges.

With Bitdefender, a leading cybersecurity provider, you can find a better balance between giving your child independence and helping them stay safe online.

Location tracking, screen time limits and web filtering: all-round digital protection

Parental Control by Bitdefender helps create a safer digital environment around your child’s smartphone, whether they’re connected to your home Wi-Fi or using the mobile network (4G/5G).

Smart content filtering and proactive protection

With Bitdefender Parental Control, you can take control of the content your child accesses.

Set up filters tailored to your child’s age and block access to apps you consider inappropriate.

The service also acts as an invisible shield, automatically blocking malicious websites and attempts to steal personal data.

Balanced screen time, with room for discussion

Managing your child’s screen time becomes much easier.

Set daily limits or define specific time slots when smartphone use is allowed.

The app also encourages communication between parents and children. Your child can see how much screen time they have left and, if they need a little longer to finish a game or an online assignment, send you a request for additional time directly from their device.

GPS location tracking: peace of mind in real time

Does your child walk home from school alone or go out with friends?

With the built-in GPS tracking feature, you can check your child’s phone location from your own smartphone whenever you need to. It’s a useful way to give the whole family greater peace of mind.

Easy to set up, simple to use

Parental Control by Bitdefender is more than just a way to restrict smartphone use. It can also help you establish clear rules and encourage open conversations with your child about their online habits.

Getting started takes just a few minutes, even if you’re not particularly tech-savvy:

• Activate the option directly in your MyTango app.
