We\u2019re excited to introduce 4 new tools designed to help parents guide their kids toward a safer and healthier online experience: <\/span>Family pause, Snapchat, TikTok, and X message alerts, Always allowed, <\/b>and<\/span> AI categories.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes the whole family needs a moment to unplug. <\/span>With Family pause, you can stop internet access on all your kids\u2019 devices with one tap<\/b>. Choose a preset break of 15, 30, or 60 minutes, or set your own. You\u2019ll see your kids\u2019 avatars update to show when they\u2019re paused, and if some are already, Family pause brings them all together. You\u2019ll find <\/span>Family pause<\/b><\/a> in the shortcuts section of the My family screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Be alerted to concerning DMs with Snapchat, TikTok, and X message alerts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Qustodio\u2019s <\/span>Social monitoring<\/a><\/strong> makes it easier for parents to stay informed without having to read every direct message. <\/span>We\u2019ve updated Social monitoring to include Snapchat, TikTok, and X on Android devices – <\/b>you\u2019ll now receive an alert whenever a concerning message is detected from these apps, as well as via text, WhatsApp messages, and Instagram* DMs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The notification includes a preview, the sender\u2019s nickname, and the type of concern flagged. Just tap the alert to review the full content. Alerts are managed in the social monitoring section, and they start automatically after installation with no setup required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customize your child\u2019s app rules with Always allowed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Not all screen time is created equal. Some apps, like music or educational tools, can actually support your child\u2019s wellbeing and learning. That\u2019s why on<\/span> Android devices,<\/span> you can use<\/span> Always allowed<\/b><\/a> to keep these apps available, even during downtime or Family pause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To set it up, go to <\/span>Rules<\/b>, then Games & apps, choose the app, and mark it as always allowed. You can also filter your list to see all Always allowed apps in one place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Manage access to AI websites with AI categories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

With our new <\/span>AI categories<\/b>, you can easily see and control which AI-powered websites your child uses. You can choose to allow, block, or set warnings for these sites, giving you more peace of mind. Qustodio automatically detects AI-based services using keywords like AI, chat, bot, or gpt, so you don\u2019t have to track them down yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This feature is available in <\/span>Web filtering<\/b> on the<\/span> Rules<\/b> page.<\/span><\/p>\n
