Why should I have a separate admin account on my child’s Mac or Windows computers?

Last Updated : 07 Jul 2026

Administrator access on Mac and Windows computers allows users to uninstall the Mobicip app. To help prevent children from removing Mobicip, we strongly recommend that parents create a separate administrator account for themselves and use a standard user account for their child.

This also helps parents retain full access to the computer even when Mobicip screen time limits are active, without needing to change or disable the screen time settings.
