Long story short my daughter is going to be lucky enough to get an iPhone for Christmas, her first phone with a live SIM.
Whilst she's been brought up with technology and we trust her to avoid inappropriate content and be careful with purchases I do want to make sure we offer some element of "family safety" protection on the device until she gets a little older.
It's been years since I used an iPhone and have never set one up for a child before (I say child, she's almost a teenager). Can anyone recommend some steps I should take and any third party app I should install to help avoid inappropriate content, dubious spam/face time contacts, dodgy in app purchases etc?
I'm on Android (for the time being) and other devices in the house are Windows based so have historically used Microsofts surprisingly good family safety settings https://account.microsoft.com/family/about.
There's a couple of apps i've spotted like Net Nanny and Qustodio but thought i'd check in the combined experience of the forum before I go too far down a particular route.
