When should I start parental control on my child's phone?

From the first day they have a phone of their own. Protection before habits form is far easier than imposing it years later, and it means less conflict with your child.

Do I need technical skills?

No. The install runs from a computer over the charging cable, with steps explained in Arabic and no factory reset. If you get stuck on any step, support on WhatsApp at +201507966165 is answered by a person, in Arabic.

My child knows phones better than I do. Will they find a way round it?

The known ways are all locked: second space, work profiles, cloned apps, the private space, VPNs, DNS changes, changing the clock, and factory reset from Settings. The app itself cannot be stopped or deleted from the phone.

Does Tabaa stop me adding Google accounts?

No. Protection is tied to the device, not to an account. Add the school account, the games account and any other, and the blocking stays exactly the same.

I have more than one child. What do I do?

Every device is managed from the supervisor app with one account, each with its own rules, and you can copy one child's settings onto another in a tap. The subscription is per device, at the same price for each.

Is technical control enough on its own?

It shuts the door on harmful content and breaks the addiction loop. Conversation, trust and filling your child's time with real activities are what make the effect last.

A guide to parental control on children's phones in Egypt

Published 27 August 2026 - last updated 13 October 2026

Tabaa Children protects your child's phone from inside Android itself: pornography is blocked, only the apps you approve open, the app cannot be stopped or deleted from the phone, and factory reset is locked. You control all of it from your own phone, in Arabic, and in Egyptian pounds.

Why Egyptian families choose Tabaa

Fully Arabic: the interface, the explanations, the reports and support.
In Egyptian pounds: local online payment by card or mobile wallet, or with an activation code, no international card needed.
Support answered by a person: on WhatsApp at +201507966165.
Banking apps keep working: Tabaa takes no Accessibility permission and runs no VPN, so there is nothing on the phone for a bank to object to.
Protection from inside the system: not an app your child can close or wipe.

Your child’s protection does not come off

Tabaa Children installs with Device Owner rights, Android’s highest administrative privilege. The operating system itself does the refusing:

The app cannot be deleted, force stopped or have its data cleared.
Factory reset from Settings is locked, and you control the lock.
Protection keeps working after a reboot and with no internet.
Second space, work profiles, cloned apps and the private space are all locked.
Every VPN, proxy and DNS changer is banned, even one installed before Tabaa.
Blocking works on Wi-Fi and on mobile data, with any SIM and any number of Google accounts.

Practical steps for parents

1. Set the phone up once

Install Tabaa Children from a computer over the charging cable, following the install page, with no factory reset and nothing erased. Then install the supervisor app on your own phone and link the device to your account.

2. Choose the allowed apps

On Tabaa Children only what you approve opens: WhatsApp, school apps and anything else you pick. Everything else is blocked. Add or remove apps any time from your phone.

3. Shape their time with modes and limits

Sleep and study: daily windows in which only what you chose opens.
Strict focus: a full-screen countdown for a length you set, which neither a reboot nor cutting the internet ends.
Daily time limits for each app on its own.
Changing the phone’s clock is no loophole: the clock follows network time.

4. Block the sites that worry you

Pornography is always blocked and SafeSearch is enforced, across the whole system. On top of that you can block any site, or download reviewed ready-made lists from the ready-made files page and import them in the supervisor app: movie sites, social media, dating, betting and more.

5. Read the reports calmly

In the supervisor app you see each device’s usage day by day, the installed apps and the phone’s location on a map, and you can lock it at once or send a message to its screen. Any change you make reaches the phone in seconds. Make reading the reports a calm weekly session with your child: the goal is to shape behaviour, not to catch mistakes.

Tips for teenagers

Explain why the protection is there before you install it, involve them in choosing the allowed apps, and make lifting restrictions a gradual reward for keeping to them. Blocking stops the slide in a moment of curiosity; the relationship is what stops them looking for another door.

And the computer?

Tabaa Desktop for Windows blocks sites, programs, games and folders, filters the internet on three layers, and removal needs a password.

The cost

A monthly or yearly subscription per device, at the same price however many devices you have; details on the pricing page. If a renewal runs late, three days of grace follow in which nothing changes; after that protection pauses until you renew, the app stays on the phone and factory reset stays locked, and the moment you renew everything comes back as it was.
