MobileFence is a piece of software that belongs to a product category known as MDM (Mobile Device Management). While general MDM solutions allow central administrators to control company employees' devices, MobileFence is an MDM product focused on parental control. However, since the intended functions are nearly identical despite the difference in the target audience, it is also used by companies, schools, and private academies.

MobileFence supports Android-based tablets and smartphones; iPhones, Amazon Kindle Fire, laptops, and PCs are not supported. Google releases a new version of Android every year; as a result, some MobileFence features may stop working on new versions. The official supported version is updated after the development team implements the necessary adjustments.

If only the parents use an Apple iPhone (iOS), there are no issues with using the MobileFence service. This is because parents can install the MobileFence app on their child's device, log in at www.mobilefence.com, and fully manage rules and check usage history for their child.
