Does Qustodio work when my children’s devices switch network or go overseas?
Yes. Qustodio is installed on your children’s devices and its protection is network-agnostic. This
means that the functionality and benefits of Qustodio is 24/7, be it on 3G/4G data network, home
broadband, home WiFi, public WiFi, overseas WiFi, overseas data network or roaming, as long as the
Qustodio app is installed on the device.
My children do not have their own devices yet, how do I protect them on devices shared among
family members?
On mobile devices, you can install the Qustodio app as usual. You can turn off the protection
temporarily using your Qustodio password. On desktop computers, you can create a different
Windows or Mac user login account for your child. You can choose to enable Qustodio protection
only on specific accounts.
How do I prevent my child from uninstalling Qustodio?
Qustodio can prevent unauthorized uninstallation on desktop computers by requesting for your
Qustodio account password before allowing uninstallation. There are also measures in mobile
devices to prevent uninstallation of the Qustodio app without your permission. In any case, you will
receive an email alert when tampering of the app is detected.
If your child uses an Android device, for additional protection against unauthorized uninstallation,
you can go to Qustodio’s web portal https://family.qustodio.com/accountsetup, click on Devices,
choose “Device Settings” for this Android device, under “Android device settings”, and enable
“Protect Android settings”. This will block all access to the Android system settings menu by the
child.
We encourage open conversations with your child on the protective purpose of using Qustodio. Their
understanding is key to cooperative digital habits that are beneficial to their overall cyber wellbeing.
Can I use Qustodio to protect multiple children?
Yes, Qustodio allows you to create individual profiles for each of your children. You can configure
different rules in each profile to suit their individual needs.
Qustodio currently sends a daily report on my child’s activities to my registered email address. Can
I switch to a weekly basis?
Yes, you can change your report delivery frequency to weekly by clicking on your user icon at the top
right hand corner in the Qustodio web portal https://family.qustodio.com/useractivity/summary
and click on “Notifications”.
