Can I set up automatic screenshots? Yes! You can schedule them to capture snapshots every 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, depending on what works best for your monitoring needs.

Will my child know when a snapshot is taken? There may be a brief visual indicator—like a green dot or permission flash—that appears briefly during camera or screen use, especially on newer Android devices.
