Supported apps

The messaging apps the Android child app monitors, with their package names.

1 min read

The child app only reads the screen of these five apps. Android enforces the limit: the Accessibility Service is registered for these apps and no others.

AppPackage name
WhatsAppcom.whatsapp
Instagramcom.instagram.android
Telegramorg.telegram.messenger
Snapchatcom.snapchat.android
TikTokcom.zhiliaoapp.musically

Any app that isn't on this list isn't monitored, even if it's a messaging app.

What this means for you

  • The app name shown in an alert comes from the package name above.
  • Detection only runs while the child has one of these apps open on screen.
  • Each app is analysed at most once every 5 minutes. See How the child app works.
  • Only the Android versions of these apps are covered. There is no iOS child app — see iOS.

The list is fixed in the app and can't be changed from the dashboard. If you need another app covered, tell us through More › Request a feature in the dashboard or at support@safecircle.tech.
