The MMGuardian Parent App is used to manage and monitor the MMGuardian child phone app installed on a teen's or pre-teen's smartphone directly from the parent's phone, and when the child's device is an Android phone: to receive alerts when text messages, certain social media chat messages or web searches are indicative of sexting, cyberbullying, suicidal thoughts and more.


With the MMGuardian Parental Control app installed to your child's Android phone, you will be able to monitor and block:

• SMS text messages
• Web browsing activity
• Application usage
• To whom voice calls are made^*

You will need to install and register the MMGuardian Parental Control for Kids app on your child's Android phone. The child phone can be linked to the parent phone app only when both are registered using the same email address and password.

Both your phone and your child's phone should have network data capability, as the app uses data to send and receive configuration commands, reports and alerts.

You may purchase subscriptions or licenses to apply to the MMGuardian Parental Control app installed on your child's Android phone from within this Parent App, to avoid having to add payment credentials (credit cards etc) to your child's Google Play account.

After the free 14 day trial period of the app on the child's phone has ended, unless the child phone app is licensed or has an ongoing subscription, the functions in the Parent App that relate to premium functions on the child's app will be disabled. However you can still use MMGuardian to locate, or to lock or unlock your child's Android phone remotely.

Single phone subscriptions are available at USD $3.99 monthly or USD $34.99 annually, and a 5 Year License is available for USD $79.99. Family plans covering up to 5 devices are available at twice the single phone price.

* The features provided by MMGuardian and the functionality of the Parent App will depend on the type of device that your child uses (Android phone, Android tablet or non-Android device). If your child's Android phone runs Android 9 or higher, please contact our support team for additional information about call reporting and blocking.

We encourage parents to discuss the reasons to use a parent control app with their children; to help protect them from potential risks of their own actions and the actions of others, such as excessive screen time, cyberbullying and sexting.
