## What is Thrive?

Turn your child's iPhone into a simple phone.

Thrive helps parents give their kids a phone for calls, maps, and music without social media, games, or endless scrolling.

Think of it like a flip phone experience on an iPhone.

Your child keeps the apps they need. Everything else stays locked.
