Overview
This article shows you how to setup Mobicip on a parent's iOS device - an iPhone or an iPad.
Summary: Download Mobicip from the App Store, select Parent as the primary user, and login using your Mobicip account.
Before You Begin
Using the Mobicip app in the Parent mode, you can
- purchase a Mobicip subscription
- add your children and customize their filtering settings
- access your children's activity including the time spent on social media, most watched videos and websites, etc.

Please note that
- Mobicip Parental Controls work by installing the Mobicip app in Child mode on your Child's device. Monitoring won't start until the Mobicip MDM profile is installed on your child's device. If you would like to get the full capabilities of the Mobicip Parental Controls, please set up your child's device in the "Supervise" mode.
