My kids and I have mixed phones (I’m on iPhone, they’re on Android) and I’m trying to manage screen time, purchases, and location in one place. I’ve used Apple Family Sharing before but not sure what works cross-platform-can Android devices join, or do they need iPhones/iPads for it to function?
Great question! Unfortunately, Apple Family Sharing is exclusively for Apple devices — Android phones cannot join a Family Sharing group, so features like Screen Time, purchase sharing, and location sharing won’t work cross-platform.
For a mixed iPhone/Android household, mSpy is the perfect solution — it works across both iOS and Android, letting you manage screen time, track location, monitor app usage, and control purchases all from one dashboard. It’s purpose-built for exactly your situation!
