How to set up parental control on Android

As a parent, you want to make sure your child is safe and using their Android device responsibly. One way to do this is by setting up parental controls. Parental controls allow you to restrict what your child can access on their device, such as apps, games, websites, and movies.

There are a few different ways to set up parental controls on Android. One way is to use the built-in parental controls in the Google Play Store. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Google Play Store app.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
3. Tap Settings > Family > Parental controls.
4. Turn on Parental controls.
5. Create a PIN that your child doesn’t know.
6. Select the types of content you want to filter.
7. Choose how to filter or restrict access.

You can also use a third-party parental control app, such as Qustodio: https://www.qustodio.com/ or FamilyTime: https://familytime.com/. These apps offer more features and flexibility than the built-in parental controls in the Google Play Store.

Once you have set up parental controls, you can monitor your child’s activity on their device. You can see what apps they are using, what websites they are visiting, and what movies they are watching. You can also use parental controls to block your child from accessing certain apps, websites, and movies.

Setting up parental controls is a great way to keep your child safe and help them use their Android device responsibly.

Here are some additional tips for setting up parental controls on Android:

• Talk to your child about parental controls. Explain why you are setting them up and what they mean for your child.
• Set clear rules and expectations. Let your child know what they are allowed to do and what they are not allowed to do on their device.
• Monitor your child’s activity. Check in with your child regularly to see how they are using their device.
• Be flexible. As your child gets older, you may need to adjust the parental controls you have set up.
