How to Block 18+ Content
0To take the smartphone from kids is a very radical solution. Many parents are not ready for such a step. Nevertheless, parents can do something to block objectionable content on children’s devices.
Step 1. Use Google Play restrictions
This method of how you can make sure that your kids are protected online from potentially harmful content is to turn on the restriction on Google Play on their Android devices. This will prevent children from downloading apps, games, and other web resources that are not appropriate for their age.
First of all, you have to choose the Google Play Store Icon from the app list on the child’s device.
Then you need to open ‘Settings’. You can do this by tapping the menu sign in the upper left corner of the Play Store home screen and choosing ‘Settings’ from the window that will open.
From the ‘Settings’ screen, you need to choose ‘Parental controls’
After taping it you will go to the ‘Parental controls’ screen where you have to turn the feature on.
After doing that you will be offered to create a PIN and block the content you don’t want your child to have access to. You will use it to change parental control settings for this account. Do not tell PIN code to your child. And then you can set restrictions based on age rates for each category.
Step 2. Enable Safe Search
Another method is not letting kids find out the stuff they aren’t ready for accidentally when they are browsing the web using Google Chrome app on their devices.
To do this tap the Chrome icon in the app list.
And then press the “three dots” sign in the upper right corner.
Then choose ‘Settings’ in the new window.
Choose the ‘Privacy’ subcategory under the ‘Advanced’ section. And enable ‘Safe Browsing’ in the next window.
