Reminders:
- Time Limits allow parents to set restrictions on the amount of time their children can spend on the internet, helping parents manage and balance their children's online time and encourage healthy habits.
Process Steps:
1. Aura provides 4 ways to set Time Limits giving parents maximum flexibility:
- Daily time limits, such as a maximum number of hours per day
- Time limits for individual apps
- Time limits for specific websites
- Time limits for categories, such as music, social media, online shopping, etc
2. Daily time limits will be enforced even if the total time limits of apps, websites and categories exceed the daily limit.
- Example:
- You set a daily time limit of 1 hour. You also set 30 minute time limits each for YouTube, Discord, Instagram and Tik Tok.
- If your child reaches the 30 minute time limit on YouTube, then the 30 minute time limit on Tik Tok, the daily time limit of 1 hour has been reached and Aura will stop all online access.
- Note that Time limits will be enforced by stopping the child’s ability to go online. If the child is using an app that does not use the internet or has preloaded content on their device (think Netflix and YouTube pre-loading) then it’s possible your child can still do things on their phone, they just won’t be able to get new content after a time limit has been reached.
3. Once you set up Parental Controls, Time Limits can be set in the Aura app by going to your child’s profile page, tapping the Parental Controls card, then Time limits.
4. Aura provides a summary of online time and usage to keep you informed.
