With devices on hand at every moment and home Wi-Fi ensuring we never miss a second of connectivity, it can sometimes be hard for families to carve out time to spend together. Whether it’s to have dinner, go for a walk, or play a board game, creating space from digital distractions helps us to connect and enjoy quality time with our families.
That’s why we’re excited to announce Family pause – a new feature that makes it easy for Qustodio families to savor screen-free moments in their busy schedules.
What is Family pause?
Instead of pausing devices or profiles one by one, with Family pause you can now pause every child’s internet connection simultaneously. Choose from preset pause durations like 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour, or set a custom pause time that suits your family’s needs. Family pause is available in the Shortcuts section of the My family screen in your Parents App.
How does it work?
Getting started with Family pause is quick and straightforward. With just one tap, you can pause the internet on all your kids’ devices at the same time, making it easier than ever to manage screen time for the whole family.
Once you’ve activated Family pause, you can easily adjust how long you want it to be used for, tap to “unpause” and resume internet access on all devices, or undo the pause for specific profiles directly from each child’s dashboard.
What if the internet on my child’s device is already paused?
Family pause will ensure everything stays in sync by disabling the individual pause and unifying the pause time across all your children’s profiles and devices.
Take control of screen time with Family pause
We understand that managing your children’s screen time across several devices and profiles can be tricky. Family pause simplifies this by letting you pause internet access on all devices at once, making it easier to create distraction-free family moments and enforce breaks. Whether it’s mealtime, study time, or bedtime, Family pause empowers you to set healthy digital boundaries for your children.
