Web History

Hi I've looked all over and can't work this one out. Is there a way to see all of the websites and apps that my child has browsed and used?

I've had issues in the past where content filtering failed and it's turned out that I need to block something based on what they've been doing.

Hello,

You can find the list of viewed apps and websites under "Internet usage" → select the "Apps and websites" tab:

It doesn't help I am afraid!

As all the web browsing is listed under Other!

It would be helpful if there was a list of all allowed and restricted content accessed, that way if something was allowed but shouldn't have been you can add it to the blocked exception.

What do you see if you click on "Apps and websites"?

This is what I see - I want to be able to see what is classified as Others, which in my childs case makes up the majority of his time on the device

Hi,

I did some research and here's what I found. No domains can be viewed there, neither in the "Others" tab nor from other categories; the same applies for Apps & websites, that's just for statistical purposes.
You can only view the domains blocked through the "Prevented content access" card.

Now, I think it's essential to mention that the "Others" section contains domains that do not fall into any of the categories and are not taken into account in the "time spent" calculation, meaning that these are domains that are actually accessed in the background, unrelated to the child's actual Internet activity. Most regular and well known websites have sub-domain URLs used for various purposes, and these are not actually accessed by the user, in most cases they are working in the background. I think it also depends on what those domains / subdomains or secondary domains are actually used for, because in some cases they may be related to the functionality of certain pages. When accessing a URL, subdomains and secondary domains play key roles in defining and routing internet traffic, but they can also be used for analytics, media loading, authentication and tokens, third-party integrations, tracking pixels, ads, APIs and background scripts.
