Go gentle !!

I know diddly poo about any games consul . But we have decided to buy 9 year old a PSP4. A friend mentioned they have a app that allows them Full access to all messages and voice etc . He even showed me . But he is away and I need to find out what app this is . Or is only for one game . I think it’s “Fortnight “ or something .


The idea is we want to monitor the language his friends are using etc

Thanks

Surely it would be good for him to learn to speak different languages?

Good luck.

But yes, what app do you use when he is at school? I could use it for my 9 yr old, who incidentally plays Fortnite as well.

Are you referring to a PS4?

In which case there is an application PS Messages which does as the name says on the tin.

You sign in with the PSN account and then can send and receive messages, you'd see in the application exactly what's been sent on the console.

Just keep his password and tell him you can look anytime.
Then if he ever changes the password so you cant look, take his PS4 away.
Also, in fortnite you only hear people in your own team.
What will you do if you catch his mates swearing? Have you thought what you will actually do?

Its all well and good thinking you will monitor his playing everyday but you won't.
You really want to "keep him safe", have the console downstairs with you. He can always use headphones.

Thanks

He has now contacted me and told me it’s the “PlayStation App”

We have had other parents complain than 2 boys in the year have been using excessive language whilst playing with others on the group . We are planning on buying a consul and just want to be sure that if the bad language is been used . Our son is not part of it Etc

The mother of one boy is in denial and tells everyone it’s not true . Trouble is one of the fathers has this app also and the recordings of this 9 year old will make his mother wake up to reality for sure !
