Does anyone know of a good privacy respecting (preferably FOSS) parental control app for Android? I’m trying to convince a friend to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as their kids next phone but they won’t do it unless it let’s them control certain things.

They’re used to iOS where apparently their kid can request to download an app and they can remotely allow the installation. They can also add screen time beyond the original set limit if the kids requests it.

Unfortunately, I don’t think they’d be open to switching if it means losing their parental controls.

    Família link (which does all that and more) won’t work unless it has privileged access. Life360 is even worse than google, so no talking about that. I don’t know what to say, if he’s just into location stalking; then you can just use google maps to share the location, but elsewhere, you’ll need to find some trustworthy MDM service.
