Got a question

My kid is now 12 and while she is out at school and coming home, either my wife or I rush home. Issue is we need to keep in contact if something happens.

Issue is I don't want her to really have access to play store and certain sites like Facebook, Twitter and what not. No tik tok and other nonsense apps either.

What is a good program or method to locking down the phone.
 
Google's family link app.
 
I was the test subject at one point in time.
 
This is good information thank you

For me it was something similar to net nanny back in the early 90's. Cant remember what it was but you know, us old people didn't have smart phones back then.

Now my daughter, who may think she is big brain, will not be able to download anything questionable or end up having like a dozen people in different languages calling constantly for promotions or wanting her social insurance number. Yes, she saw me type this out so I had to say it this way.
