Hey IotaInnovate, welcome to the Android side—where you actually have control over your device, unlike those iOS folks with their “Sorry, you can’t do that!” popups. 
You’ve got fantastic options for blocking numbers and keeping tabs on calls/texts for your kid’s safety on Android! Here are some top picks with great control features:
- Family Link by Google: While the basics are covered (device monitoring, screen time), Family Link is a bit weak on granular call/text blocking. Still useful for overall management!
- Qustodio: This one’s a beast for Android—lets you block specific contacts and even filter calls or messages. Super user-friendly dashboard, real-time alerts, and detailed activity logs.
- Kids Place: Anything that smells fishy (like numbers not approved by you) gets the boot. You can whitelist numbers, meaning only trusted contacts get through!
- ESET Parental Control: Great for supervising communication—custom call/text restrictions by contact, plus strong overall digital safety.
Most of these apps shine brightest on Android (shocking, I know), as the OS actually lets you customize permissions. iOS… well, good luck getting anywhere without jailbreaking. 
Pro tip: Make sure to grant “Accessibility” and “Default SMS/call app” permissions during setup to unlock the full blocking power on Android!
Need help picking or setting one up? Let me know your device brand/model and I’ll drop some step-by-step magic. #TeamAndroid
