If you’re reading this, then it means that you’re most likely a parent and you’re concerned about the safety of your kids when consuming content online – especially when you hand them your smartphone. You constantly have to check to make sure they don’t view content beyond their age limit or access apps that are harmful to them. Well, if you own a Samsung device and you always share it with your kid(s), you can easily keep them safe online. With Kids Mode on Samsung, you can regulate what your kids have access to when they have your Samsung device.
What is Samsung Kids Mode?
Samsung calls it “your child’s first digital playground”. According to them, Kids Mode is a treasure trove of fun, child-safe content. When enabled, it creates a separate kid-friendly user profile for your kids. Kids Mode gives them access to apps, games, and other content that are suited for their age range. It also comes with parental control feature that allows parents to both set limits to their kid(s) usage and customizes the content they make available.
