Pro tip: Use Family Link to lock down apps + Do Not Disturb to allow calls only from Contacts — fast way to keep unknown numbers out.

How to tighten contacts/calls/messages:

App approvals: Family Link (parent) > select child > Manage settings > Controls on Google Play — deny messaging/VoIP apps you don’t want.

Block numbers: On the child’s Phone app > Recents or Caller ID > tap number > Block/report spam.

Messages: Google Messages > Settings > Spam protection (enable) and Filter unknown senders.

Do Not Disturb: Settings > Sound & Do Not Disturb > People > allow Calls/Messages from “Contacts only” (emergency calls still go through).

Carrier tools: ask your carrier about call-blocking/whitelisting features.

If you need more granular monitoring or remote contact controls, parents sometimes use third‑party tools like mSpy — use them responsibly and legally.
