- Conversation partners are warned that your child's screen is being recorded
Video streaming apps that exclusively show copyrighted content aren't supported since Apple doesn't allow screen recording of those apps. This mainly affects the following apps:
- Disney Plus
- Netflix
If your child's device uses one of these apps, you'll need to add Disney+ the list of Always Allowed apps
Apple's Phone app is always allowed; it never requires screen recording.
No, highly-trusted apps don't need to be recorded. Even so, recording only takes 5 seconds and we've found it helps us be less compulsive and more intentional.
A lot of engineering went into getting this right. We are pleased to report there is no noticeable difference in battery-life!
When recording is off, everything is blocked. When recording is on, LivingRoom still blocks the worst website addresses. It promotes self-control through screenshot accountability. It is more effective at preventing addiction rather than preventing exposure. If exposure happens, and you can block that specific site, personal contact, or app via Screen Time parental controls.
We choose not to monitor these types of messages in order to give children privacy to talk with their friends and just be kids.
Yes. LivingRoom can monitor AI chatbots, AI companions, ChatGPT, and more!
