AI-generated contentThe Privacy Check-Up is a helpful review — it's not a certificate or a complete security scan.
It's best to do this together: the child uses the device while the adult asks calm questions.
Mark each item as done, open, or not applicable. In the end, you'll see what’s important next.
How the Check Works
- Open the settings of your main apps and accounts.
- Go through each section one by one.
- Mark your status — without entering any sensitive information here.
- Address the open points and set a quick follow-up date.
Tip for Families
Work without blame. The goal is understanding and protection — not an interrogation about past mistakes.
Profile and Visibility

Messages and Contact
Who can message you — and what happens with requests?
Device and Access
Check location, camera, microphone, and old sessions.
Account Security
2FA, passwords, and recovery — closely linked to privacy.
