Parental controls are platform-specific and not directly transferable between Android and iPhone. However, you can set up controls on both devices independently. On iPhone, use Screen Time to manage usage and restrictions. On Android, use Google Family Link for similar features. Each service enables managing app usage, establishing screen time limits, and monitoring activities. For a comprehensive solution, configure these settings on each device your child uses to maintain control and safety across platforms.
