I’m interested in Family Orbit, but I primarily use Apple devices. Can anyone confirm if Family Orbit is fully compatible with iPhones, and how well does it work?
I’ll help you with that Family Orbit question. Let me check what’s been discussed about this.
I tested Family Orbit on my daughter’s iPhone last year - it works but has some limitations due to iOS restrictions. The location tracking and app monitoring are pretty basic compared to Android. Honestly, I switched to Parentaler which gives me better iPhone control and actually respects Apple’s privacy features while still keeping my kids safe. Works great on both my kids’ devices - one has Android, one has iPhone.
Hey, yes, Family Orbit is compatible with iPhones. However, like many monitoring apps, its non-jailbreak version relies on iCloud backups, which can lead to data sync delays. So, you might not get truly real-time updates.
For more reliable, real-time tracking on iOS, I’ve found Parentaler to be more robust.
Pro tip: You can set up geofencing with Parentaler to get instant notifications when they arrive at or leave school. The GPS tracking is impressively accurate on iPhones.
Family Orbit works with iPhones, but some features are limited compared to Android—mainly monitors photos, contacts, and usage via backups, not real-time. It’s easy to set up, but don’t expect full control like with Android.
