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 app monitoring feature allows you to see how often your kid has accessed Snapchat and how long they have used it for 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. In addition, you can set up FamiSafe to alert you to suspicious words or phrases used in Snapchat messages (but this didn’t work in my tests). Finally, if you don’t want your kids using Snapchat, you can block it entirely.

Question 2

Is FamiSafe free?

Accepted Answer

FamiSafe allows you to log in as a guest and access all of its features for free, but if you do, you’re restricted to using FamiSafe on one device, and it won’t remember any of your settings — which can get pretty annoying if your kids change phones a lot. I’d recommend choosing one of FamiSafe’s monthly, quarterly, or annual plans. The monthly plan offers coverage on up to 5 devices, and the quarterly and yearly plans provide access on up to 10 devices. If you need to protect more devices, Norton Family offers coverage on unlimited devices.

Question 3

Can my child delete FamiSafe?

Accepted Answer

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

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. Check out our list of the top 10 antiviruses in 2023 to see our favorite antiviruses that can keep you protected from all types of malware. I recommend choosing Norton, Bitdefender, or TotalAV. If you’re on Mac, then Intego is also a good choice.

Question 6

Does FamiSafe monitor phone calls?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, FamiSafe doesn’t monitor phone calls. To monitor your kid’s phone calls, you should consider Qustodio — it provides both SMS and phone monitoring on iOS and Android, and it even allows you to block all of your kid’s incoming and outgoing calls. You can check out our full Qustodio review here.

Question 7

Can FamiSafe read text messages?

Accepted Answer

No, FamiSafe can’t read text messages (but it can send you alerts if there are suspicious phrases used in texts). If you want to read your kid’s text messages, you should try Qustodio — it provides SMS monitoring for Android and iOS, and it also includes some other really good features that FamiSafe lacks, such as a panic button that lets your kids send alerts to you or a trusted contact if they’re in trouble.

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, Mac, iOS, and Kindle Fire.

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 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 drive safety feature, which monitors your teen when driving and logs their driving time, average 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 actively 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 devices’s battery life when using the parent’s app. Most apps (including Facebook and Instagram) have a 3-4% impact — so FamiSafe really isn’t that bad in comparison.
