What’s the best way to restrict my Android devices to only use approved apps? I want to manage the whitelist remotely.

Bonus points if I can keep everything in-house, on my home server or similar via my existing VPN.

This is for my kids’ future phones. Ages 12 to 16.

    I trust my kids to mostly only use the devices how I say. The security is mainly to keep their mum happy

    It sounds like you should simply trust your kids and convince your better half that she should do the same.

      No, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a technical level of control over young kids devices in partnership with close supervision. It’s that or no phones until they’re 16.
