App Usage delivers in-depth analytics about your child’s device activity, providing daily and weekly breakdowns by individual applications and usage categories.

Open the Insights section in your parent app to access comprehensive reports displaying all device activity, app usage, and time statistics.

Enable the weekly view toggle in the upper right corner of your Insights dashboard to see seven-day usage summaries and trends.

Confirm that you’ve granted all necessary permissions for app usage monitoring on your child’s device during the setup process.
