Parental control for Android: Possible via app

If you want your child to be able to use the smartphone unsupervised from time to time, you need a parental control. Through such a device, the child can play on the smartphone unhindered and is kept away from inappropriate content. In addition, access to various apps is automatically blocked.

Parental control for Android: Smartphones left out

Parental control can be set up by default for tablets from Android 4.3. Smartphones, on the other hand, do not support this feature.

1. In order to set up parental controls on your tablet, you must first go to the settings.
2. Navigate there to the "Users" section and switch to "Restricted profile".
3. Now you will see a list of all apps installed on the smartphone. Now activate all apps that are allowed to be used with the new profile.
4. However, not every app may be compatible with the restricted profile option.
5. To return to your old profile, all you have to do is select your own again under "Users".
