Set controls on smartphones and tablets
Create a safe space for kids to explore a range of Samsung smartphones and tablets with these simple steps.
Galaxy for families
Parents, carers and guardians can create a Samsung Child Account to set up filters on website content (Samsung Internet), app downloads and purchases (Galaxy Store) as well as location sharing with family members for children’s devices.
Samsung smartphones also offer easy access to Google Family Link parental controls to manage children’s screen time and set up restrictions on online content as well as app downloads and purchase restrictions for Google’s internet browser (Chrome) and app store (Play Store).
There are also other useful features such as call and text filtering, privacy dashboards, creating secure folders and setting up SOS messages that parents, carers and guardians can access without the need to create a separate child’s account.

The app also has a range of fun child-friendly features and over 2,500 unique education and recreational apps.
