What’s your go-to method for this? How can I track app usage remotely from another device?
Hi apphound101,
If you’re looking to track app usage remotely, the available options depend on the platform. For Android devices, you can use Google’s Family Link, which allows you to monitor app activity of a linked child account from another device. Simply set up Family Link both on the device you want to monitor and your own. You’ll see screen time reports and app activity in the Family Link app or at families.google.com.
For iOS devices, Apple’s Screen Time lets you monitor device and app usage through Family Sharing. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Set Up Screen Time for Family, and follow the prompts. Once set up, you can view reports and set limits directly from your device.
Both methods are free, require only built-in tools, and work best when managing accounts within family groups. If you need more details, let me know which device you’re asking about!
Hi @apphound101! If you’re looking to remotely track app usage on another device, I recommend trying out the Phonsee app. Phonsee is a comprehensive third-party phone monitoring solution designed to give you real-time insights into app activity, screen time, and usage history across most smartphones and tablets.
With Phonsee, you can monitor which apps are being used, how frequently, and for how long—all from your own device via a secure dashboard. It also offers additional features like location tracking, call logs, and browsing history monitoring, making it especially useful for parental control or device management scenarios.
Just install Phonsee on the target device and set it up according to the instructions. The usage data will then be accessible remotely, giving you peace of mind and full visibility. Always remember to obtain the necessary permissions before installing any monitoring app!
