Parental Controls on F-Secure Mobile - doesn't seem to do time limits?
![Waiting](https://community.f-secure.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
Hi everyone,
I have downloaded F-secure SAFE on my son's mobile. However, the Parental Controls only let me limit websites. It does not let me put Time Limits on my son's use of internet etc. I was able to do this on a laptop and tablet but not on a phone.
I rang F Secure this afternoon and a customer services assured me that you could do time limits on a phone.
Can anybody clear this up for me? Thanks.

Hi there,
Thank you for replying.
I'm not sure what OS means. My son's phone is a Nokia Lumia 530 microsoft mobile. I downloaded F Secure SAFE on it OK. However, it only gives me choice of blocking websites. It does not give me choice of Time Limits, as I said which it did on his tablet and laptop where I do have this choice.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

p.s. I am really interested in your answer to this very simple question that no questions in the Community actually answers - they are merely about downloading whatever is there. It is very confusing from F Secure itself, who seem to suggest that I am seeing things! It would be really good if anyone could clarify this. Otherwise I will have to download a "free" app to do this potentially, assuming these are available.

Well, F-Secure Community didn't answer my question so thanks for that - just directing me to the same instructions I have seen 100 times! I had to talk to F Secure yet again about this issue. After spending 20 minutes on the phone the man finally said that F Secure was not compatible with windows!! However, there is nothing on the website to say F Secure is not compatible with Windows. I really am starting to dislike this company's way of operating. He told me I should have checked this out before I bought F-Secure, which is ridiculous as it is surely F Secure's responsibility to say that a big company like Microsoft is incompatible. Just another day dealing with these awful big companies and their awful instructions, websites and customer services.

Finally! Thank you. But F-Secure website should make this incompatability clear. At the very least F Secure should be able to answer that simple question somewhere on their website, or with their technical help team when I called! It is not made clear what Parental Controls are that you can use on mobiles generally, so one is left quite unclear and confused about quite a simple question really. Regards.
