How to set parental controls on Android

The presence of tablets and smartphones in children is not uncommon these days. Basically, these are devices running on the Android OS. These gadgets are interesting for the child, but still, parents should think about the purposes for which he uses it.

To prevent your child from visiting unwanted sites, set parental controls on the device. Learn how to do this in our article.

Built-in Android parental controls

The Android system and built-in applications from Google are not rich in demanded parental control functions. But still, something can be configured without resorting to third-party programs.

Worth knowing: the location of the options is indicated for pure Android. On some tablets with their own launchers, the settings may be located in a different place and section, for example, in the "Advanced" section.

For the little ones - lock in the application

The "Lock in the application" function makes it possible to run one program in full screen and prohibit switching to any other software or "desktop" Android.

To enable these features, follow these steps:

Users

Basically (in addition to profiles with limited access, which are rare), you cannot set restrictions for the second user, but the function can still be useful:

  • Program settings are saved separately for each user. For yourself, you can not set the parental control parameters, but simply set a password. In this case, the child will have access to the device only through the second user.
  • All passwords, codes and payment details are saved for different users separately.

It's important to know! When using multiple accounts, the installation and uninstallation of programs is reflected in all Android accounts.

If your kid uses a tablet and you are worried about the safety of data, then install parental control on the device. Our article will tell you how to do this.

Navigation

With the help of modern technology, children learn to learn about the world, develop attentiveness, reaction, and just have a good time. But, before giving the tablet in the hands of a child, it must be prepared for use.

Of course, you can get a ready-made and customized tablet right away. It is already completely ready for use by a child: shell, applications, customization administration and the distribution of rights between parent and child.

But there are not so many such models on the market, and their cost is an order of magnitude higher than universal ones and the characteristics are much inferior to them. Moreover, it is not a fact that the child will not abandon such an interesting toy tomorrow.

If this scenario does not suit you, then you can independently configure a regular tablet. How to set parental controls on Android?

Special casings for children

This is the surest solution for customizing your gadget for your little one. In this case, the application shell is placed on top of the main one. It does not allow you to get into the system settings, applications, correspondence, social networks, and so on.

The child is shown only a bright menu with a limited number of applications. He cannot leave this environment, because for this he must enter a password. Each such application has its own set of parameters, but despite this, the setting is quite simple.

Kids place

The most popular application of all is Kids Place. It is free, the interface is well thought out, and it is easy to master it, even for the most inexperienced users.

The shell completely replaces the Android launcher, which does not allow you to go to the normal screen of the system.

At the first start, you create a pin-code, without which the child will not be able to change anything.

All available applications are displayed in resizable tiles. If desired, the icons can be categorized with small pictograms and stickers.

Among the important options, it is worth noting the possibility of autorun, forced inclusion of the mode "In the airplane ", call barring, timer of use, as well as setting blocking on mechanical buttons.

Famigo sandbox

If the previous application is a wrapper with configurable restrictions, then this is a complex service. Its central module is the "sandbox", from where the child can run only permitted applications.

Adding content is very interesting. The program has its own base and indicates suitability for use by children, if the program has been tested and the age is specified in the settings.

Moreover , Flamigo it even has a special store with both paid and free apps. Their baby can add to "A wish list "... There are still portals for entertainment Wowzer and Fun.

You can finish the list of utilities with flexible settings and an interface for administration that help adjust application work.
By the way, despite all the advantages, there is one huge disadvantage for many - the application is paid and costs $ 7, 99 per month. But on the other hand, it has a trial period of 7 days, during which you can appreciate all the advantages of the program. Of course, the cost is not so small, but it is quite adequate for the constantly evolving software.

Kids shell

This shell also replaces the main launcher and makes it possible to make a list of applications for the child, and also has a package recommended to install programs. It is also possible to set restrictions for a specific situation.

Kid's shell for Android

Although, the interface is a little frustrating, as it was made in the style of the first versions of the Android system, but your kid is unlikely to notice this fact.

If the child can confidently work with the tablet, and your gadget works on Android version 4 .3, then you should set up user profiles.
Starting with this firmware, it became possible not only to create several users at once - with wallpapers, shortcuts, widgets, and so on, and to regulate the available programs.

Kid's Shell setup step 1

Kid's Shell setup step 2

Kid's Shell setup step 3

Kid's Shell setup step 4

Kid's Shell setup step 5

For example, you can make available only a reader, a player with certain cartoons, several games and Skype for communicating with grandparents.

Of course, creating "limited users" is not the best solution, but if you add useful third-party software, then it will be very much even nothing.

For example , "Norton Family parental control" will restrict access to certain sites on the Internet. And if you purchase the paid version, then control over sms and downloadable programs will be established. At the same time, monthly reports will be received regarding the activity.

Other ways to protect your tablet

  • Ranger Pro Safe Browser Is a browser that allows you to securely navigate the Internet.
  • If you want your baby to always be under control and the moral component comes first, then install the service. Zoe mob... So, for a small monthly fee, you can track up to five devices, set up alerts if a child leaves a certain territory, view SMS and calls, and also clean the device. This is very convenient, especially since control can be carried out not only from a computer, but also through ZoeMob.
  • And the last "harsh" method is free AppLock blocking access to programs, options, settings and content.

Basically, it is not intended for setting up a tablet for a child, but it does an excellent job with this task.

How to set up Google Play correctly?

Before giving your toddler a tablet, set up the use of the Google Play store.

  • First make sure there is a mark around the stitching "Password ", if it is not, then be sure to put it. This is important, especially if you shop frequently and have already saved your credit card.

  • Next, set a restriction on the displayed content. To do this, go to "Content filtering"... Here you can choose one of four items: "For all ","For kids ","For teenagers" and "For adults"... Among all, only the second will suit you, because the child should not see unnecessary content.

By the way, Google surprised its users with teen-friendly content. Apps, they argue, “may include sexual content, imaginary or realistic violence, bad language and crude humor, drug, alcohol and smoking references, social functions, and gambling simulators.”
So it is better to choose the mode exactly "For kids " and set a password.

Video: Parental Controls on Android

In general terms, Parental Control is a series of measures to restrict access to device resources. Whether it's launching apps, browsing sites, or downloading content. Often this function can be found in the settings of the tablet itself, or by installing additional utilities specially developed for this.

Now let's take a closer look at how to set parental controls on your tablet.

For IOS tablets

To outline the range of iPad features available to guests, go to Settings → General → Restrictions. Pressing the "Enable Restrictions" button activates the section settings after entering a four-character password.

Store the password in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children. Or just remember.

Losing a password is fraught with the most unpleasant consequences, because it will be required to run each item included in the restrictions. For example, the Safari browser.

Other equally interesting features in the same section are below. You can securely launch Youtube, Siri, iTunes. Prevent uninstallation / installation of programs, in-app purchases. Refine the rating for content from the AppStore at your discretion.

The "Guided Access" mode will be interesting for parents of babies. It isolates the work on the tablet within one active application and prevents any attempts to call other applications. At the same time, it protects and helps focus the little user.


Another one useful option guide-access is a time limit for work. You can set the time interval after which the tablet will go into sleep mode in order to control the duration of the session and protect the eyes of children.

To start a guide access session, open the required application and press the home button three times. To exit the guide access mode, press the home button three times and enter the password set in the guide access settings.

For Android tablets

There is a similar function in tablets on Android base since version 5.0 Lollipop. To activate it, go to Settings → Security → Screen pinning. To pin the application, click the "Browse" button and drag the title of the application window to the middle of the screen.

After that, a pin icon will appear in the lower corner. When you click on a pin, a confirmation request pops up. To exit the mode, press the "Back" and "Browse" buttons simultaneously.

Starting in version 4.2, it became possible to create additional user profiles with limited access. This is very convenient if you have to share the device with someone.




Google Play restrictions

To restrict the purchase and download of adult content from Google play go to store settings and turn on parental controls. To do this, you will need to enter a PIN.



Apps and Launchers

If you need even more functionality from parental control, right up to tracking the location of the tablet, then both in Google Play and in the AppStore there is a large selection of different applications, free and not so, that can do it.


Launcher programs (such as "Kids Place", "KidRead", "Me!") Turn the tablet into a child's toy. The launcher is a separate shell, bright and attractive, which can be customized as you please: pack applications for games and study in the appropriate sections, disable the ability to make calls and perform other financially costly actions, leave the right to play around with the design and some settings.

Another good way to protect yourself is to enable Safe Search on Google. Open the search settings page and check the box next to "Enable Safe Search". At the bottom of the page, click Save.

Most popular searches have this feature implemented as well. It can be used to filter adult content when searching from any device. Unfortunately, this option is not the most reliable, and prohibited materials will continue to be available via direct links.

All current Xiaomi, as you know, has a special " Child mode", Through which you can configure the admission of young users to the settings of the smartphone and various kinds of content. That is, parental control, but ... child control.

This feature is practical, time-tested and really helps to protect the child from contacts, both with content that is unnecessary at his age, and with various unfamiliar and often bad citizens (in social networks, instant messengers, via SMS, etc.).

But it often happens that a smartphone is in “ Child mode”Switched, and A) he got stuck in it for some reason, or B) the password from him was lost or forgotten. As a result, it is necessary to somehow bypass it so that Xiaomi does not remain childish forever.

Of course, the situation is extremely difficult. Let's say right away that the method presented below is simple and at the same time radical. If you remember the password, then we will tell you how to turn off the "Kids Mode" with a password. Or, if you don't remember, then you will have to solve the problem by hard reset, i.e. full reset machine settings. With the loss of all data, if not previously saved in the form backups in the Mi Cloud online storage, on a PC and / or on a memory card.

Therefore, without a password, apply this method nevertheless, it is better on new Xiaomi, which were bought recently and inexpensively (by the way, we look at the current prices for them at https://vseceni.ua/), and in which there is still nothing much to lose.

The method works equally well (so to speak) on any Xiaomi. There are only two conditions for its successful application:

first (we repeat again) - this is a preliminary backup of important data or their initial absence;

second - Availability in Xiaomi of access to any application associated with mail Gmail.

So, how to disable "Kid Mode" in a Xiaomi smartphone or tablet with and without a password:
  • open " Gallery «;
  • choose any photo and just we send it via Gmail ;
  • the Gmail app will launch automatically and open a new message;
  • now go to Gmail app settings (three dots - the upper right corner of the screen);
  • in the menu that appears, tap “ Settings «:
  • on the next screen we tap again three dots and in the new menu, click “ Account management «:

  • then such a window will appear with a warning, in it we tap " Proceed «:

  • and we get to the system settings section, from where you can disable " Child mode«
move on:
  • if there is no password, then we are preparing for a complete reset of all settings of the device, during which backup all important and not even very important files, as well custom settings on a computer or in Mi Cloud;
  • after completing the backup, open again " Settings ", Go to the section" Additionally ", Click" Recovery and reset " and then - " Reset «.

After the reboot, Xiaomi opens in its original form, that is, with an inactive "Child Mode" and other passwords. All data and system settings can now be returned.

Modern children are drawn to digital gadgets almost from the cradle. The most popular devices for them today are smartphones and tablets. Parents have to think about how to protect their child from bad content on the Internet, keep their data safe and protect the gadget from accidental formatting. We will tell you about ways to limit and control the actions of a child on a mobile device in this article.

Restricting the child's access to the device with built-in Android tools

It is worth starting with the fact that operating system Android doesn't offer too many options in this regard. The first thing we can do on a children's smartphone or tablet is to activate the "Parental Control" option in the settings google apps Play. This will allow you to filter the content in the store based on the age limit. Here you can choose to set the maximum acceptable rating for games and applications.



In theory, the feature is very useful, but in practice it is not very effective, since most of the content on Google Play is rated 3+. If it is still bearable with games, then with applications it is a complete mess. Even with a minimum age rating, a child can download and install banking clients, online stores, utilities for setting up the system and getting ROOT and much more. By the way, we also recommend that you check if it is attached to Google account bank card, otherwise you risk losing all your money.


Starting with Android 4.2, the mobile OS has a multiplayer mode for tablets. This feature has proven to be in great demand for families who have to use a shared device. For smartphones, this feature was added to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Multi-user mode allows you to create multiple users on the device with their own accounts or a guest profile.

What does it do? Firstly, each user has his own desktop, his own set of applications with certain settings that do not affect the other user in any way. However, in this case, the child receives the same rights as the adult. He can only be banned from making calls and sending SMS.

We control the actions of the child on Android with third-party applications

Most simple solution, so that the child does not do business on a smartphone or tablet, is the installation of a children's launcher.


The Kid's Shell launcher looks like a hello from the past. The application interface, despite its target audience, reminds the first Android version- looks out of date and very strict. Obviously, the developers paid more attention to the functional component of the program than to its outward appearance... Kid's Shell is a kind of sandbox, within which a child can perform any actions on a smartphone or tablet that you allow him. This will not affect the basic data and system settings of the device.







The full version of the application opens additional functions... Among them is the ability to change the desktop wallpaper, set a time limit on the tablet, block Internet access, allow incoming calls, and more.


Unlike Kid's Shell, this launcher has a really childish interface with fun backgrounds, fun icons and matching fonts. The launcher's desktop is divided into four categories: Games, Development, Learning, and Other. or change application shortcuts, you cannot add new categories to the desktop. By default, all installed applications are in the fifth category, inaccessible to children. To open access to them, just drag the shortcut into one of the necessary categories.




The paid version of the launcher allows you to set time limits both for individual applications and for an entire category. As soon as the time comes to an end, a corresponding notification is displayed to the child, then the program or game is closed. "Parental Control" also allows you to view statistics running applications during the week. On this moment the developers have another program with the same name that can work as an add-on to the launcher, allowing you to track your child's location and manage settings remotely.




The advantage of Parental Control over previous application is that in the free version, the launcher allows the child to receive and make calls, which for some parents is very important point.


The Kidix launcher attracts attention from the very first glance thanks to its simple and well-thought-out interface with vivid characters and unobtrusive interactive prompts when setting up the application. And the main advantage of the program is that it is completely free. The basic features of Kidix are the same as other children's launchers. Main screen Applications contains three categories of programs into which you distribute the applications available to the child. Kidix automatically blocks access to device settings and notification panel.




The main focus of the developers is on time limitation. Here you can configure the access time to a certain category of programs, set several time intervals at once, and even specify the allowed hours separately for weekdays and weekends. If this is not enough, you can set a daily time limit for each of the categories with applications.



A separate function is the ability to receive and make calls. The launcher has a convenient, and most importantly, a simple built-in dialer, into which you can add only selected phone numbers and emergency services... The child can only call them. In the future, Kidix developers plan to add remote control and educational tasks to the launcher.



In addition to children's launchers, there are a number of simple utilities that deny access to certain applications. This solution can be useful if the child uses his parents' mobile device.


Bear Lock is an application blocker in the form of a friendly bear Jasper, which will tell your child in a playful way which programs he is not allowed to access. With Bear Lock, you can easily put a password on any installed application and even system settings... Thus, your mail, instant messengers, SMS messages, calls and other applications will be blocked.



After activating the protective functions, the utility turns on the application blocking instantly. To prevent a resourceful child from uninstalling Bear Lock or any other application on the device, the program provides a password protection function.




Bear Lock is free, but offers additional paid features such as protecting notifications, taking pictures when unsuccessful attempts to bypass the lock, false message locks and the ability to pause Bear Lock. But, in principle, free options will be enough to protect applications.


The Touch Lock app does the same. Only, unlike Bear Lock, this program is designed for very young children who still do not quite understand how to operate a smartphone and tablet, but are already trying to do it in full. Touch Lock protects your mobile device from children by locking the buttons. The app offers two lock modes:

  • all mechanical buttons;
  • all mechanical buttons and screen.




In the first case, the child can actively control the device using gestures, that is, play educational games, or simply draw on the screen. In the second case, absolutely everything is blocked, with the exception of the shutdown button. This method is suitable, for example, for watching cartoons when no buttons or screen taps are required. Activating Touch Lock is very simple. It is enough to click on one of the two modes in the curtain.

The most serious applications that restrict a child's actions on a smartphone or tablet are specialized services that offer a comprehensive parental control solution. This is often one of the options remote control a child's device.


Google's Family Link app is designed for parents who want to monitor their kids' activities on smartphones and tablets. Android... The utility allows you to create a Google account for a child under 13 years old and set certain rules for it.




Using Family Link, you can remotely monitor your child's actions on a mobile device, allow or block the launch of applications. Content downloads from the Google Play store, including purchases, will be subject to prior approval by adults. Parents can view reports of children's activity for a week and a month, see how much time their child spends on each of installed applications, as well as set a daily limit on the use of a smartphone and "night hours" for recreation. In this case, the child will be prohibited from absolutely everything, except for calls. In addition, you can manually lock your child's device remotely at any other time when you need to take a break. Parents even have the option to change the lock password for their smartphone or tablet.

Family Link restricts the child's access to the Internet, more precisely, the child will be able to open only those sites that are on the allowed list, or you can let the program automatically block sites with "adult" content. In addition, there is a filter for safe google search... As an additional option, the program can determine the location of the child's smartphone. Naturally, parents can perform all these actions remotely, provided that the Internet is working on the children's device and logged into a Google account.

Family Link is currently only available in the United States. Even if you download the program, you must request an invitation to use it. In addition, Family Link only works on devices with Android 7.0 Nougat and above. Unfortunately, there are no free analogs, there are similar ones, but already paid ones.


The Safe Kids application from the antivirus company Kaspersky Lab is a cross-platform protection service with remote monitoring and parental control functions. Like Family Link, the program works on a client-server basis. Safe Kids is installed on the device of a child and an adult and is activated under a common account... Parents can add unlimited devices and child profiles within one account.



Safe Kids is based on covert monitoring rather than outright prohibition. Moreover, children can see what prohibitions and restrictions are established for them. Parents have at their disposal almost all options for blocking certain applications and web content. This allows you to restrict the child not only from certain unwanted web pages and programs, but also entire categories of applications and sites that fall under age restrictions or parental filters. A distinctive feature of Safe Kids is the "Request Permissions" feature, which allows a child to ask an adult to open access to a prohibited application or site.






Monitoring children's activity in mobile version applications and in personal account the site varies greatly. So, for example, on the site you can view detailed usage statistics mobile device child per day, week and month. Here you can also see which sites the child visits most often, which search queries enters which programs it launches and how much time it spends in them. Another feature that can only be configured on the site is to control the time children use devices. There is an opportunity to set a daily limit for each day of the week.


The extended functionality of Safe Kids is available by subscription. In the paid version, the service offers additional detailed reports and notifications on calls and SMS messages, the ability to receive information about the location of the child, plan a flexible weekly time schedule when it is allowed to use the device, and even set the permitted territorial zones on the map. In addition, Safe Kids can track your child's activities in social networks VKontakte and Facebook, make a copy of publications, notify friends about changes.

Eventually:

Obviously, there is no one solution for parents in this matter. There are actually a lot of applications that can help adults prepare a children's tablet or smartphone, as well as protect their own devices from the child's actions. We tried to select the best of them, pre-dividing the applications according to the complexity and availability of available options. In the future, the choice will depend on the goals that you set for yourself. If you want to keep your little one safe from unwanted programs and web content, regular app blockers are fine. In order to make control of your tablet / smartphone easier and limit the time spent at the device - install a children's launcher. And if the task is full remote control of all actions of the child, you should pay attention to a complex solution in the form of special services.
