Can my parents see the apps I download?

I'm a good kid. But my parents have a family plan and I just wanted to know if they can see the apps I download. So can they?

No, they cannot see what data is used for. However if a paid app was downloaded and billed to the carrier, they will be able to see the charge on the bill. AT&T does take privacy seriously.

If they are free apps - you're all good!

Not from ATT. If you use the same Apple ID as your parents or have family sharing enabled, then they can tell from the AppStore app what apps have been downloaded though not necessarily which device downloaded each app.

Yeah I probably should have worded it better and included the Android reference on the paid apps mention. 😛
