We’re running our 2nd annual Joey Parent Digital Safety Survey, and this year, we want to make it one of the largest parent surveys on kids’ online lives.

Last year we asked parents what they most want to know about their child’s digital world. The top 5 themes were:

1️⃣ SAFETY: who they’re talking to, strangers, bullying, risky contacts
2️⃣ ACTIVITY: what apps they use and how much time they spend online
3️⃣ WELLBEING: whether they seem stressed, left out or under pressure
4️⃣ RISKY TOPICS: exposure to sexual content, drugs, hate speech or harmful content
5️⃣ RULES, whether family digital rules are actually being followed

Now we’re expanding the survey.

Vote in the comments: which one matters most to you?

Comment 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, or add your own topic you are most interested in. For some of us, you might have to take yourself back to when you gave your kids their first smart phone and wondered what risks you were exposing them to.

🚨 1 in 5. Could it be your teen?
In the US, a shocking 21% of teens (ages 13-17) report being victims of online sextortion. That means 1 out of every 5 kids has been threatened by someone claiming they will share or post a sexual image—whether real or completely fake—to manipulate and control them. These terrifying threats happen in secret, directly on the screens they look at every day. The hardest question you have to ask yourself as a parent is: Would you even know if your child was in danger? 🛑

Don't wait until it's too late to find out. You don't have to be in the dark. What if you could receive smart alerts when this digital threat occurs?

🛡️ Take action and protect their digital world today. Step in before the damage is done.

Which is the best parental monitoring app for iPhone?

We tested BrightCanary, Bark and Joey in a real family setup.

Not all “monitoring apps” solve the same problem.

In this review we break down:
• reliability on iPhone
• alert quality (and false positives)
• privacy tradeoffs
• what each tool is actually good at

Why we built Joey

Joey didn’t start as a tech project.

It started as a parenting question:

How do you keep your child safer online without becoming the phone police?

We built Joey to surface signals, not surveillance — structured alerts that help parents step in early and have better conversations.

Digital ground rules we use in our own family

When our son got his iPhone, we didn’t just hand it over — we agreed on clear digital rules first.

In this post we share:
• The boundaries we set
• What we allow (and don’t)
• How we revisit rules as he matures

If you're setting up your child’s first iPhone, this will help.
