I’d never give my kid an android phone because it would mean buying a brand new phone (instead of giving them my old iPhone XR from 2018) AND would mean I’d have to create some new account to manage the screen time equivalent on another ecosystem. I don’t like creating new accounts. I’ve moved from google accounts to Proton and don’t want to go back, either.

My kids all have iOS devices and that’s not going to change unless they choose to buy their own devices and become green bubblers down the road (lol, as if they would).

Just joined the proton family. God, switching all my accounts over really sucks, not to mention creating new alias’s and pw’s for 95% of them.
