Configuring Norton Family House Rules for App Supervision

Supported Platforms

App supervision is available on Android phones, tablets, and Windows devices. However, this feature is only supported on Windows 8 or later versions. It is not compatible with UWP apps or apps from the Microsoft Store, nor with apps that run as a service.

App supervision allows you to monitor the apps your children download on their Android phones, tablets and Windows devices. It also enables you to block specific apps, such as YouTube, Settings, or Facebook. Additionally, you can track the time your children spend on each app. Please note that app usage time is only available for devices running Android 8 or later.

If your child’s device does not support app supervision, you will not be able to modify this house rule.
