Many parent control apps are more like Spyware and are often also exactly that, Spyware which spy on your Kids. Or Google Family Link is also a great example which you can’t remove even if you want too (as parent). I already setup a non-child-friendly blocking DNS and set the Age Limit in the Google Play Store and did all the Privacy related stuff, but I’m still thinking how can I make a Android phone more secure for children? The threads I’m talking about are non-child-friendly content, malware, scams, etc.
But creepy Apple collecting tons of data on your children is okay by you?
Yes - that data is already being collected regardless of which OS you choose; this is at least contained to the creator of your OS, not yet another entity.
Also, iOS being arguably less than Google’s collection and use.
Not if you install a deGoogled OS such as LineageOS, CalyxOS, Iodé or /e/,
Don’t drink the kool-aid. Apple’s reputation for being a privacy-respecting company is entirely fictional and created by Apple’s marketing department. They collect as much data as Google does, make no mistake about it.
And even if they didn’t, I don’t consider “a little less” privacy invasion remotely good enough - especially when it’s my children’s privacy!
We’re talking out of the box solutions; what you’re talking about is custom roms that will be above most people’s skill set and time to do so.
iPhones are a thing because they simply work - that is a much bigger selling point than anything else you and I could suggest.
You have a point there.
