Wanly - Online

Wanly - Online assists parents who want to follow their children's online presence on messaging platforms. The app records when family members become active or inactive on WhatsApp, sends immediate alerts about these changes, and compiles weekly summaries that show total time spent and frequency of use. These functions help users notice patterns in online habits without requiring constant manual checks. Up to two additional accounts can be added after an SMS verification step that protects account access and the data collected.

Real-time status alerts

The service sends notifications the moment a monitored account goes online or offline. This allows parents to receive timely information about activity on the linked WhatsApp accounts rather than reviewing logs after the fact. The alerts work alongside the tracking of last-seen times and read receipts when consent is given by the account holder.

Weekly activity summaries

Each week the app produces a report listing total online duration and session counts for every monitored member. Parents can review these figures to identify trends in usage across the tracking period and make decisions based on the recorded data instead of estimates.

Adding and verifying accounts

Users enter a family member's phone number and confirm it through a one-time six-digit code sent by SMS. This step is required before monitoring begins and limits the service to a maximum of two additional accounts at any time. The verification process also secures the stored activity records.

Storage and device needs

The installation package occupies 11.1 MB, after which extra space between 100 MB and 500 MB is recommended for updates and temporary files. Devices must run Android 4.4 or later; older hardware may require an earlier version of the app if compatibility issues arise.
