How to Set up Parental Controls to Limit Age-Inappropriate Content | Android

Published 21st April 2021

A free online safety guide on parental controls.

The parental controls on smartphones allow you to block or restrict certain apps, features, content, downloads or purchases that might not be suitable for young people. Setting limitations around age ratings, Siri and web searches enables you to filter out age-inappropriate content and vastly reduce the likelihood of your children being exposed to potentially upsetting material and information.

In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of tips such as sexting, strangers and excessive use.
