Vodafone Guardian lets parents limit their kids’ phone use

Vodafone has launched a standalone Android app it’s calling Vodafone Guardian, which is a sort of simple phone management tool designed to reassure parents that it’s OK to give their kids a smartphone.

The app lets admin users block calls and messages from certain users, ban use of the camera, limit web and app use and even lock down features on a timed basis, so the phone can shut itself off at bed time. Which is something we could do with.

    Vodafone Guardian’s technology seems to be stolen from a small Norwegian start-up, Bipper Communications (use Google translate):
