FlashGet Parental Control Getting Started

Stage1: Install FlashGet Parental Control

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

Step 1 Download and install FlashGet Parental Control on the parent’s device

When the parent uses an Android phone

You can search for FlashGet Parental Control on Google Play or visit our download page.

When the parent uses an iPhone or iPad

You can only download FlashGet Parental Control on App Store. You can visit App Store to search for our app or go to our download page.

Step 2 Get FlashGet account

Before using FlashGet Parental Control, you must register a FlashGet account. If you have the account already, please click Sign in.

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

As of now, our 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.

1. Open a browser on your kid’s device, and enter flashget.co. Please be aware that it’s not flashget.com.
2. Click the download button to download the APK file.

3. After installation, click “Done” to open FlashGet Kids on your child’s device.

4. Enter the binding code to bind the child’s device to the parent’s account. The pairing code has nine digits which shows on the parent’s app.
5. Tap “OK” to start parental control or click “Bind next” to bind more devices. You can also tap the Add icon at the upper right corner of your dashboard to bind more devices.

Stage2: Set Up FlashGet Parental Control
