Let’s start by installing the FlashGet Kids app. The app must be installed simultaneously on the parent’s and kids’ mobile phones.

Step 1. Download and install FlashGet Kids for parent on the parent’s device.

Step 3. Bind kid’s device to parent’s device.

As of now, our FlashGet Kids parental control app only supports managing children’s Android devices. However, we are also working on adapting the app to support Apple devices within the next few months. This will allow parents to monitor their children’s activities on any device they use.

Tips

If you see a popup prompt of “unknown sources,” tap on Settings > toggle on Downloads from Unknown Sources or something similar that contains “Unknown Sources.”

Because FlashGet Kids for child is not on the Google Play store, Google defines APK files installed from third-party channels as from unknown sources, and you need to allow installation from unknown sources in the settings to continue.

After installation, click “Done” to open FlashGet Kids (Child’s app) on your child’s device.

If you’re using Android 13 or later, you may fail to click open FlashGet Kids for child directly (The open button is grey or the open button does not work). You can go to phone browser on kid’s device and enter flashget.kids/openkids.
