Now you can keep an eye on how much time children spend on the phone! Screen Time and App Control feature in JioShield
Whether the children are out of the house or the elderly have gone out alone, everything from their location to SOS alerts at the time of need will now be available at one place. Jio has launched JioShield, which provides features like location tracking, SOS alerts, screen time and app-contact control to protect the family both outside and online.
Through JioShield, parents will be able to see the location of the child and get important safety alerts. You will receive an alert even if the phone’s battery is low. In case of children, it can be decided which apps and contacts they use and how much time they spend on the screen.
This means that their online usage can also be monitored and controlled. This same facility can also be used to stay connected with elderly parents and help them when needed.
