    • View activity reports and logs from all devices.
    • Adjust settings and restrictions for web filtering, app controls, and screen time.
    • Receive notifications and alerts.

• Mobile App:

  • The Kaspersky Safe Kids mobile app (available for Android and iOS) also allows you to:
    • Monitor and adjust settings for each device.
    • View activity reports and receive notifications.

3. Regular Updates and Maintenance

• Update KSK Software:

  • Ensure that Kaspersky Safe Kids is updated to the latest version on all devices to maintain compatibility and access new features.

• Review Permissions:

  • Regularly check and confirm that KSK has all necessary permissions on each device. Re-grant permissions if they have been altered.

4. Troubleshooting Sync Issues

• Verify Connectivity:

  • Ensure all devices have a stable internet connection. Sync issues can occur if a device is offline or has network restrictions.

• Check Account Login:

  • Confirm that all devices are logged into the same Kaspersky parent account to ensure proper synchronization.

• Restart Devices:

  • Restart devices if synchronization issues occur to refresh connections between KSK and the Kaspersky servers.
