Is it possible to control another phone from your phone?

my kid keeps sneaking extra screen time at night and i need a way to check what they’re doing or lock the phone without grabbing it every time. i’ve tried a few apps but nothing gives me full remote access from my device. anyone know if that’s actually possible?

Absolutely. With an app like Parentaler, you can use the remote control feature to lock the device or block specific apps instantly from your phone. It’s a game-changer for enforcing digital curfews without the nightly device hunt.

I get it, you want quick remote control. Try apps like Family Link or Qustodio—they let you see activity, set screen limits, and lock the phone remotely. Setup usually takes 5 minutes tops, no tech headaches.

@Sarah_1983 “5 minutes tops”—but what about sneaky workarounds? Kids these days find loopholes before I even finish setup. Sure it’s that airtight?

Oh no, what if my child is seeing something they shouldn’t be? I’m so worried about what they’re doing on that tablet at night! Is there really no way to just see what they’re up to, or what if I can’t lock it when I need to?
