Do you know what sites your children are visiting on the internet? While they will hopefully be visiting websites that are age-appropriate, there is always the worry that they might be reading and watching things that they shouldn’t. There is also the danger that they might be spending too long in front of the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are things you can do as a parent to control your kids’ device habits. You can set rules at home, install a parental control app<\/a> (more of that later), and set up parental control on your child’s device (or your own device if you are sharing it).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

For this article, we will specifically explain how to set up parental controls on a Samsung Galaxy tablet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kids Mode in Samsung Galaxy Tab<\/span><\/h2>\n

Samsung already has some of your needs covered with the Kids Mode app<\/a>. By enabling it on the tablet, you will be able to restrict access to certain apps and media content. It is only available on newer generations of the Samsung tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and higher) so consider making an upgrade if the device your child is using doesn’t have the Kids Mode app available. You should also make sure the device is fully updated with the latest Android Operating System to make sure the Kids Mode app runs as it should.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go through the following steps to set up Kids Mode on the Samsung tablet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create A User Profile On The Samsung Galaxy Tab<\/span><\/h2>\n

Especially when sharing a device, you probably don’t want Kids Mode enabled on your user profile. For this reason, it is important to set up a user profile that your child can call their own. Of course, if they own the device, it is advisable to create a profile that includes the parental control settings you need for your peace of mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To create a user profile on the Samsung tablet, do the following.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go to the Home screen and tap on the Settings icon. From there, tap ‘Users’ and go to ‘Add user or profile.’ From here, choose ‘restricted profile’ and create a password that your child won’t be able to guess. Then tap ‘Finish.’ Job done! Well, almost. You then need to download the Kids Mode app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Download And Set Up Kids Mode<\/span><\/h2>\n

In some instances, Kids Mode might already be enabled on the device, in which case, you are almost good to go! But if you can’t find it, open the Google Play Store and search ‘Samsung Kids Mode.’ This will pull up the relevant app. Simply click on it to install it to the device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
