What Parentaler is
Parentaler is a paid phone-monitoring and parental-control app for viewing a child’s device and online activity. Its dashboard is available from any device or browser, while monitored devices include iPhone, iPad and Android. Parents can review browsing history and bookmarks, block websites, apps, games and Wi-Fi networks, and receive activity reports. Location tools show current and past locations and can alert parents when a child enters or leaves designated areas. The service describes access to SMS, email, incoming and outgoing calls, contacts, messenger conversations, photos, videos, keyword alerts, screen captures and calendar events. Named platforms include WhatsApp, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Viber, Telegram, Kik and TikTok. Android installation requires physical access and Android 4 or later; instant-messenger tracking and several Android monitors require rooting. iOS setup uses the target device’s iCloud login and password through the Control Panel. Support is offered by chat or email 24/7.
