We’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature in the Teracube Thrive app: Insights . This feature gives parents a clear and comprehensive understanding of their child’s phone usage, helping foster healthier digital habits.
What is the Insights Feature?
With Insights, parents can now easily track:
- Daily and Weekly Screen Time : Know exactly how much time your child is spending on their phone on a daily and weekly basis. The feature provides a breakdown of total phone usage, allowing you to monitor trends over time and spot any increases or decreases in screen time.
- Top Apps Used : Curious about which apps your child is using the most? Insights provides detailed information on app usage, showing which apps consume the most screen time. This helps you understand their digital preferences, from gaming apps like Clash Royale to video platforms like YouTube .
Why is this Important?
In today’s digital world, it’s essential for parents to guide their kids toward responsible and balanced tech use. By understanding your child’s app habits and overall screen time, you can make informed decisions about setting appropriate limits and having meaningful conversations about online safety and wellbeing.
How It Works
- Log in to the Teracube Thrive parent app and select the child.
- Navigate to the Insights tab.
- You’ll see a visual breakdown of phone usage by day, represented in easy-to-read graphs. You can also view a list of top apps with their daily usage time, alongside any limits you’ve set for each app.
- By default, weekly stats are displayed.
- Click on a green bar to show data for a particular day.
- Use forward and back arrows to see data for last 4 weeks.
- Click on 3 dot menu to move from daily screen time to weekly screen time usage.
Peace of Mind for Parents
The Insights feature empowers you with real-time data, making it easier to adjust screen time limits or take action if needed. Whether you want to reward balanced phone use or address excessive screen time, Insights helps you stay informed.
Pro-Tip - We encourage you to review phone usage analytics with your child at least once a week, discuss the results together, and adjust daily screen time or individual app limits as needed. It’s essential for both parents and kids to stay aware of daily phone usage in order to build healthy digital habits.
FAQ
Q: Why is my child's total usage higher than the daily screen time limit I had set?
A: In Teracube Thrive, “Always On” apps do not count towards daily screen time limit, which can cause the total usage to appear higher than expected. To ensure your child uses the phone only for the intended amount of time, we recommend setting time limits on all apps, except essential ones like the clock, calculator, and similar utilities.
