Parental Controls For Smart Phones
Smart phones really are incredible devices, and I’m sure you would agree, most of us would now feel completely lost without them! Whether your child is coming to the age of owning their own smart phone, or just enjoys borrowing yours for a quick game, they are fantastically versatile and fun…but do not come without their dangers.
Downloading a new app or game is so quick and straightforward that, whenever a young person uses a smartphone (either their own or a parent’s) there’s always the possibility that they could expose themselves to inappropriate content (such as games with violent scenes or apps with adult themes) simply by sheer accident or, more likely, through youthful curiosity.
Fortunately, the parental controls you’ll find on most smartphones are an excellent way of minimising this possibility. They don’t completely remove the element of risk – but they do limit it considerably. Please take a look at the attached guides to steer you through the process of setting up this useful protection on iPhone and Android smartphones.
If you have any further concerns or need any advice, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
