Norton Family provides tools that teach safe, smart, and healthy online habits. It also provides insights that help you foster a healthy online/offline balance for your children and their devices.

At home, attending school, or on the go, Norton Family helps keep children focused on what’s most important.

Norton Family empowers parents to keep track of their child’s online behavior.

Norton Family also provides insights into the search terms and videos (3) that interest your kids and flags unsafe behavior so you can discuss online safety, as a family.‡

• Set limits on your child’s internet access
Help your kids balance time spent online by scheduling screen time limits for their device usage.‡ This can helps you focus your child on schoolwork and avoid online distractions while remote learning or at bedtime.‡

• Stay informed about your child’s physical location
Use geo-location features in the app to track your child’s location (4). Plus, receive alerts if you’re your child arrives in or goes beyond areas of interest established by you, using geo-location tools.

• Access weekly/monthly reports
Get detailed reports on what your kids are doing online, right in your Inbox or on the Parent Portal.‡ You can use these reports to foster dialog with your child about online safety.

Here are some of the Norton Family features parents can use to help protect their child’s online activities.

Norton Family is not that great compared to McAfee

Norton Family is not that great compared to McAfee. It does little to control Apps, my child seems to get by all the controls. Norton is a touch weaker in controlling Windows and iOS devices. At times it is too rigid and lacking what I see on McAfee and Apple Screentime.

McAfee is just a touch better at 3.5 stars controlling a mixture of Windows and partially iOS devices. Apple Screen time is great for controlling iOS and nothing else.

The App keeps locking me out

My 12yo is able to bypass all Norton controls by searching online roblox or Steam games despite me blocking gaming categories and the apps. I don’t even get notified. The iOS app keeps kicking me out saying my session is expired when I try to update houserule settings. No one from customer service nor any search online is able to explain nor fix this problem. I have to give a very poor rating because of these issues. Shame as I love Norton products.

Non-user-friendly App

You set rules and it keep resets back. And not apply. If kids deactivate chrome extension easily they can skip tracing. I try to reach help desk by email, no one reply. Non recommended app. Waste of money & time.
