Child protection Android 11: Making the device childproof

Using smartphones is quite normal for the generation of digital natives. Nevertheless, children and young people need special protection when using smartphones, as they are often unable to properly assess the dangers of using the device. There are solutions for this under Android 11.

Children and youth protection remains important

When children and young people use smartphones, this sometimes also involves dangers. Certain apps, for example, can promote addictive behavior caused by psychological factors. Other apps, for example with violent or pornographic content, are not suitable for children at all and can traumatize them in the worst case. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to child and youth protection when you allow minors to access digital media. Android 11 recommends activating a parental lock for this, which you can find in the settings. After that, you can install the app "Family Link" directly via the settings and thus activate the necessary security measures.

1. Open the settings.

5. Laden Sie die App Family Link herunter, indem Sie auf den angezeigten Play Store Link tippen.
