Setup Guides

Set up supervision on Android

eGuard supervises your child's Android phone or tablet itself. You don't need Google Family Link.

Help Center

Install eGuard from Google Play on your child's phone or tablet, choose I'm setting up my child's device, and enter the pairing code from your eGuard app or the web.

eGuard then asks for a few permissions: usage access for screen time and app limits, location if you turn it on, and device admin for uninstall protection. Each one is explained before Android asks for it.

Web filtering is one guided step: eGuard shows you how to set the phone's Private DNS to a family filter, then checks it's set.

You don't need Google Family Link. eGuard applies and verifies every protection directly on Android.

eGuard shows a notification on your child's device whenever it's active, so it's never hidden. Tell your child what it does before you set it up.

The eGuard app for Android is on Google Play. The iPhone and iPad app is coming soon; until then, steps that install eGuard on an iPhone or iPad apply once it's out.
