Does Accountable2You monitor social media?
Accountable2You monitors limited details from social media apps and websites. The "endless scroll" style that social media sites use makes it difficult for any accountability software to accurately capture detail.
On most of our supported platforms, A2U will capture some of the actions taken and pages visited on social media sites, but not everything. On iOS devices (iPhones and iPads), A2U won’t capture any detail from social media apps, due to Apple’s focus on privacy.
For slightly more detailed social media monitoring on iOS devices, try using a web browser (like Safari) to visit social media sites, rather than using the social media apps themselves.
Recommendations
For iOS devices, we recommend using Screen Time to limit or restrict access to social media apps. Learn more about Screen Time here.
For other types of devices, we recommend using the Custom Trigger Words feature to mark social media apps as “Questionable” or “Highly Questionable,” thus creating an alert when these apps are opened. Learn more about Custom Trigger Words here.
To prevent false alerts, only add apps that you plan to avoid using. We recommend discussing this with accountability partners and making a plan together.
