Swisscom Launches Kids Security Powered by Ohana
Swisscom, Switzerland's largest telecom operator, has launched a new parental control app called Kids Security. The technology behind the app is supplied by the Austrian startup Ohana, based in Linz. Ohana provides and operates the white-label platform, which Swisscom offers under its own brand. The app includes features such as screen time management, app checks for age appropriateness, a learning mode to reduce distractions, location sharing, and usage statistics with expert recommendations. The service costs CHF 4.90 per month (about €5.20), with a 50% discount for the first six months, and is available for an unlimited number of children and devices, provided at least one household member has a Swisscom mobile subscription. Ohana's CEO, Christian Orgler, highlights the importance of involving children in the process and sees this as a significant step for the startup's B2B business. Ohana already has a partnership with the Austrian telecom Drei, but the Swisscom deal is its first white-label offering. The startup faces competition from built-in parental controls from Apple and Google, as well as other parental control apps.
