Setting up a cell phone for children - which apps are useful?

A smartphone for your child is a big decision. Beforehand, you should think carefully about which phone is appropriate for your child and, most importantly, which apps he or she is allowed to use. Setting up parental controls can also be a good decision in many cases.

Setting up a cell phone for kids - this is what you should pay attention to

Children use smartphones differently than adults. First and foremost, games and videos are of interest. However, this is exactly where a problem can quickly arise.

1. The Youtube app is installed on the smartphone by default. For safety's sake, create an account to switch the app to restricted mode so that your child does not see any inappropriate content.
2. Lock the app store. Your child should not be in control of the App Store unsupervised. Also out of carelessness, purchases and contracts can be made quickly, which can not be revoked.
3. Set up an app to monitor the usage behavior of your children and block inappropriate websites if necessary.

What is useful?

1. An app to locate the smartphone is also an important point. Im Notfall wissen Sie genau, wo Ihr Kind sich gerade aufhält.
2. Nutzen Sie eine Prepaid-Karte, damit Sie problemlos die Ausgaben und die Telefonie des Kindes unter Kontrolle haben.
3. Sperren Sie Apps von Drittanbietern. Nur so verhindern Sie die Installation von kostenlosen Apps aus dem Internet, die meistens Werbefallen sind.
