What devices can I use Kidline on?
Kidline works on iPhone 8 or newer, and iPad (5th generation) or newer, running iOS 16 or later. It requires a Wi-Fi connection and does not need a SIM card or phone plan.
How does Kidline ensure my child's safety?
Kidline provides a completely safe environment with no browsing, no feed, and no phone number. Only pre-approved contacts can call or be called by your child, and calls are never recorded.
Can my child make calls when the device is locked?

How do I add contacts for my child to call?
You can connect families by inviting them with a private code or QR code. You have complete control over choosing every friend, family member, and grown-up your child can communicate with.
What information can parents see in the activity log?

How does the 'Quiet Time' feature work in Kidline?
You can set a quiet window for the family, such as bedtime. During this time, the home screen turns into a calm night scene and calls are paused until the window ends. Calls to friends who also have quiet time on will also pause.
