How to download & install PhoneParental

Getting started is quick and guided. Follow these four steps to set up monitoring on the device you own or manage and start seeing activity in your dashboard.

1

Create your account

Sign up on PhoneParental and choose the plan that fits your needs. You'll get immediate access to your dashboard and the guided installer.

2

Open the installer on the device

On the phone you own or manage, open the guided installer. It detects the platform and shows the exact steps for Android or iOS.

3

Grant the needed permissions

Follow the prompts to allow the permissions each feature requires. The guide explains why each one is needed in plain language.

4

Open your dashboard

Return to any browser, log in, and watch your device's activity begin to appear — organized, clear and ready to review.

Installing on Android

Android setup is straightforward. After creating your account, open the installer on the Android device, allow the installation when prompted, and run the guided setup. PhoneParental will ask you to grant a series of permissions — such as location and notification access — and the guide explains what each one enables. Once permissions are granted, the app settles into the background and begins syncing data to your dashboard.

Installing on iPhone & iPad

iOS setup depends on the features you need. For many monitoring features, setup uses secure device credentials or a configuration profile; the installer detects your situation and shows the precise steps. As with Android, the process is guided from start to finish, and our support team is on hand if you have questions about any step.

If you get stuck

Installation rarely goes wrong, but if a step doesn't behave as expected, the PhoneParental help center has detailed troubleshooting articles for every supported platform. You can also reach customer support directly, and we'll walk you through whatever isn't working until your dashboard is showing data.
