Got daughter an iPhone and not sure how to limit internet

spaceboy

My ex got one of my daughters (15) an iPhone recently but we both have android phones and my ex is saying she can't get family link to restrict the iPhone internet usage. My daughter is not really balancing her life properly and spending all her time online at the expense of exercise, getting outside, even getting dressed and brushing her teeth when she's off school.

Any help hear would be much appreciated as I'm really concerned about her.

Some broadband providers offer blocks or time outs but that wouldn't solve the issue of them being able to use mobile data instead.

Whilst family link will run on an iPhone for parents, the Children need to be on Android. 

For Apple Screen time, everyone needs to be part of a family group with an iOS device.

Thanks. That's not very helpful of Apple.

If you get a plan with company like Lebara then the amount of internet use is limited to whatever you pay for each month. Once you reach that limit then it won't work until the next month. WiFi obviously isn't included in that but you could control that from home

That's not what the OP wants or needs. The OP is  looking to limit the amount of time per day and the number or type of websites and app use. 

What you've suggested would just limit the amount of data per month b
