SkieDoes Skie record calls, listen through the microphone or use the camera?
No. Skie does not record calls, does not listen through the microphone, and does not take photos or video through the camera, and it does not keep call logs. Camera, SMS and outgoing calls can be switched off by the parent as policy, but that is a block, not a recording.
People hear device management and picture someone listening in. That is not what Skie is, and it is not what we want it to be.
Skie does not collect audio or video, and it does not read call logs. Photo or audio capture is not a feature, available or planned in the form of secret recording. The device owner role is used to enforce settings, not to watch the child.
You do have switches that affect the camera and calls, and it helps to be exact about them. You can disable the camera on a device, which stops any app using it. You can disable SMS and outgoing calls. These turn features off. They do not record anything.
Because the phone shows that it is managed and there is no hidden mode, a child can see what the setup is. A family can also read this page together and settle the argument before it starts.
If you are comparing products, ask each one three questions. Does it record the microphone, does it log calls, and can it run without the child knowing. Then decide which answers you can live with and explain to your child.
