I think term "parental control" applies more to regulating your aging parent's cell phone, than your childrens'. Decluttering your mom's phone is like swatting mosquitos in Summer in Indiana--you gotta stay at it. It never stops. With her phone, you must delete apps, eliminate notifiers, and remove access to bank, financial & other accounts on regular basis. K.I.S.S. is the motto to maintain cell phone calmness. Get all apps to 1 screen, mimic her phone to your phone, direct to one source for all shopping. And watch like a hawk! I never imagined that being guardian for mom would require so much ongoing time simpliying her phone. But apps & notifiers multiply like, well, mosquitos....So, keep swatting!
