If a computer has several accounts, the installer asks which login belongs to your child. Next, you sign in to your account and either create a profile for your child or choose your child’s profile and add the computer to their associated device list. The file is 64 MB and took about 20 seconds to install in testing. Setup is handled via the Norton Family Installer application. Installing Norton Family on a Windows account is easy. Next, specify the device on which you want to install Norton Family and follow the instructions for that platform. To add a child, enter a name, choose a restriction level (low, moderate, high, and very high), and either select an avatar or upload a profile photo. When you first sign in to the Norton Family dashboard, you need to create profiles for each child you wish to monitor. We tested Norton Family’s iOS capabilities on an iPhone XS running iOS 14.6, and we tested the Android functionality using a Samsung Galaxy A71 running Android 11. We tested Norton Family’s parental controls for Windows using a desktop computer running Windows 10. That said, you can still access the web portal on a Mac to set up parameters, view your child's activity, and manage other child profiles. Competitors such as Qustodio and Kaspersky Safe Kids can both monitor Macs as well as Windows devices.
Norton Family can monitor Windows, Android, and iOS devices, but Macs are beyond its power. You install a local child app on each monitored device to enforce rules and monitor activity. Norton Family lets you configure rules and view your child's activity from a web console as well as offering parental apps for Android and iOS.
