Does Covenant Eyes monitor Google Chrome on iPhones and iPads?
Covenant Eyes can monitor some content on iPhones, but screenshots can't be recorded for Google Chrome. Consider alternative approaches.
You might have considered Covenant Eyes if you’re looking for an accountability app that reliably tracks web browsing on an iPhone. Unfortunately, if you need to track activity on a web browser other than Safari, such as Google Chrome or Firefox, you may need to consider alternatives or switch to the Safari app exclusively.
Covenant Eyes currently supports the Safari browser only on iPhones and iPads. To monitor browsing on other web browsers (or even activity on other apps), consider screen monitoring using an app like LivingRoom for Families .
On iPhones, Covenant Eyes relies on a browser extension to monitor activity on the Safari browser. This browser extension can detect when another web browser is installed that isn’t compatible, but there is no built-in mechanism that actively prevents other web browsers from being installed.
Supervised mode is a much more reliable alternative to Screen Time that is better suited for adults who have full access to their own devices. You might consider it if you want to block all but a very limited number of apps, although you could also block apps above an age rating or even individually.
Alternatives to Covenant Eyes that monitor all web browsing activity
Adults can consider a few accountability apps for iPhones , and the most effective options can monitor the entire screen on an iPhone and are difficult for adults to disable.
If you're using a screen monitoring app like LivingRoom for Families , you can see all activity on the iPhone, including private messages from social media apps, friend requests sent to your child or teen, and much more.
