operating room android system different from usual Windows lack parental control features. Because of this, parents of young children often suffer from the fact that the child can press something on the phone, enter the network on prohibited sites, or spend all the money from the mobile account. Of course, you can put a password on the device, hide applications, create a special account for the child. However, in this thread, we will introduce some ways to set up parental controls for Android.

Lock apps while using your phone

This method is suitable in cases where a parent, having turned on a game or cartoon on the phone for his baby, prohibits access to the main menu or other applications. In other words, the kid will not be able to exit the game or close the cartoon on the phone. The sensor will not respond to the actions of the baby. The function that is responsible for blocking the software is called "Lock in the application." To enable it, do the following:

• Select "Menu", "Settings", "Security". Here we find the function "Lock in the application."

• A message will appear stating that by clicking on the Browse button (which looks like a pushpin), you can pin the screen.

• Now, having turned on the game for the baby, press the "Browse" button and hold it. To disable the lock, you should hold down the "Back" button.

Thus, the child will not be able to press anything on the phone or confuse the settings.

Setting up parental controls in the Play Market

Fortunately, such a service Play market has a parental control feature. In order to enable it, you need to select the "Service Menu", go to "Settings" and select "Parental Control".

A new window will open. Drag the slider to the "On" position.

To prevent your child from spending money on buying apps in the Play Market, you should enable the "Authentication upon purchase" function. After its activation, the child will not be able to buy a game or a movie on this service without entering a login and password from the account.

Create an account for a child

In order to create a new account for the child, in which only some applications will be available for use, it is worth going to the “Settings”, “Users” section and clicking “Add user”.

After that, select "User with limited access". Once the account is created, you need to specify which programs the new owner can use.

Using Kaspersky Safe Kids for Parental Control

The Kaspersky Safe Kids app was the first to allow a parent to monitor their child online and beyond. By installing such an application on their smartphone and the child's smartphone, the parent can specify which programs, sites and resources will be blocked for the child. Also, with the help of this software, you can track the location of the child.

Initially, the parent must create their own account on their device.

Registration must also be done on the child's device. Only after creating linked accounts, the parent can choose the level of protection.

It is important to note that most modern antiviruses for Android have a parental control feature. Therefore, Kaspersky Safe Kids is not the only option for organizing parental control on a child's smartphone.

Details on how to set up parental control on Android, see the video:

Today, even children use smartphones, who often manage it even better than their parents. As a rule, smartphones in children's hands are used primarily for playing games, watching cartoons and children's entertainment programs. At the same time, a smartphone can be called a source of problems, since with its help a child, if desired, can visit websites that are undesirable for him or download a malicious file. To prevent this from happening, you can enable the so-called parental control. This feature has many benefits, including:

• Protection from malicious files.

• Website ban.

• Blocking downloads of certain applications.

• AT individual cases: Time limit for watching cartoons or playing games.

• In some cases: using your own desktop and transferring only necessary applications to it.

We will show you how you can set up parental controls on your Android smartphone.

Using built-in functionality

Modern android versions allow you to create new profile with limited access.

Go to settings.

Click Add User.

Select Restricted Profile.

If you see a message that you can create such a profile only after setting up a screen lock, click "Enable screen lock". If you are already using fingerprint access to the desktop or another option, you will not see such a message - a new profile will be created immediately.

If you see it, choose an available option, say PIN.

Ask it twice and remember.

It is better to hide notifications on the lock screen.

The profile has been created, you need to select the applications that will be available to the child - in front of the necessary ones, turn the switch to the “On” position, for example:

Choose the new profile you just created and confirm the transition to it.

The desktop starts under the control of the profile you created. There are only those third-party applications that you have allowed access to.

Q: What prevents a child from deleting this profile and enabling the owner profile? Nothing prevents deleting, this can be easily done through the settings, however, we created a pin code for entering the owner’s profile for a reason: after deleting your profile, you will need to enter a pin code from the owner’s account, which, of course, the child does not know.

Therefore, it is at least unprofitable for him to delete his profile: without a pin code, he cannot do anything with a smartphone at all.

Google Play Settings

This is a restriction of access to the Play Market so that the child cannot download applications with one rating or another.

Go to Play Market.

Call up the menu by swiping from the left side of the screen to the right or by pressing the button in the form of three stripes. Select "Settings" from the menu.

Find the line "Parental Control", click on it.

Move the switch to the "On" position.

Log in and remember the PIN code entered twice.

You can turn off parental control only after entering the pin code.

Third Party Applications

Of course, you can always use third party applications, but remember that many of them assume full trust between parents and the child, so disabling the parental control functionality in such applications is often within the power of the child himself.

To find an app with parental controls, open the Play Market. Specify a phrase in the search parental control and click on the search button.

You will see a list of applications. We strongly recommend that you read the comments before installation, from which you can learn a lot of interesting things.

A couple of examples. The Kidslox app allows you to:

• Block apps.

• Set a screen time limit.

• Block access to unwanted sites.

• Switch between several available modes of operation.

FunControl. Allows, among other things:

• Label apps by category.

• Set a balance between entertainment or educational applications.

• Set the time allotted for games.

• Block apps.

• Support multiple profiles.

Innovations in the world of technology are not only new opportunities for the individual, but also new challenges for parents. This is due to the fact that almost every child in modern world has a tablet - a gadget that opens the door to the world of the Internet, online games, virtual reality. The inexperienced younger generation may well get lost in the world of opportunities, not having “immunity” against viral programs, adult games, banned films, dangerous Internet resources. In this case, the sacred duty of adults to help the child, and therefore it's time to learn how to set up parental controls on the tablet.

Blocking the tablet through the settings

Offers great opportunities for parents Google, which develops software for the Android OS. Systems, devices running Android 5.0 or later, parents will be able to set a ban on the use of certain applications on the tablet. For this, the following algorithm of actions is used:

1. Open "Settings".
2. Open the "Security" tab.
3. Select the pointer "Attaching to the screen" in the window that opens.
4. After opening the "Additional" folder, you can specify the password that will be available only to parents.

After the manipulations have been done, you will need to hold down the "Browse" button, which will allow you to display only active programs, and move the selected game up. To fix the selected software, press the paperclip, which is located at the bottom right of the page. After such actions, it will be possible to safely give the tablet to the child, since he will not be able to go beyond the specified program without knowing the password. The parent will be able to change the settings himself by entering the password and doing all the above manipulations.

Restricting access to a specific user

If everything is very clear with blocking the tablet, then access restrictions should only be dealt with. This feature allows you to protect the tablet (and therefore the child) from the influence of unknown users. It is this method that allows you to make a ban on the study of content of a certain kind. To set limits, you should:

• Go to the "Settings" tab.
• Select the function of adding a user and specify "Restricted profile" for it.
• After such actions, you can determine and specify which site, resource will be available to the younger generation. It also lists prohibited content.

To fix these settings, you need to come up with and enter complex password which only adults will know.

Network access: main restrictive settings

The router is also included in the scope of the monitoring function. If only a home access point is used to connect to the network, you can configure a router that will only work with certain portals, avoid "walking" through dangerous resources. Used to prohibit and restrict special program, which is presented on the resource Google Play.

Restriction on access to purchases and use of Google Play features

This opportunity is provided by the resource itself, which allows parents to set certain limits for the child to download games, programs, applications. To set limits:

• Find the "Settings" tab in the store itself.
• Select the "Parental Control" option, after which confirmation is required - a password.

After logging in, you can specify a limit on the use of the system by your child. Parents will be able to exclude the possibility of purchasing expensive software, certain product categories in the Google store, or limit free content.

MOSCOW, September 7 - RIA Novosti. The desire to control everything that a child can do on their smartphone or tablet can be visited by any parent who dares to donate such a device by the beginning of the school year. RIA Novosti correspondents tried to figure out what exactly you should pay attention to when choosing an application.

Developers of applications that provide parental control functions on mobile devices do not agree on the basic approaches to the functionality of such services and often do not provide flexibility in their settings.

Parental control tasks may include a ban on visiting unwanted Internet sites, restricting a child's access to communication services, as well as controlling the use of applications on the device. As an option, there may be remote monitoring of what exactly (and not in the classroom) the child is doing at the moment.

However, not every developer includes all the components in their product, and sometimes even "redoubts" erected by companies that have eaten a dog on information security surrender almost without a fight.

As part of the most widespread in the world mobile platform Google Android there is no built-in parental control function, but upon request in the online store Google Apps Play provides a list of almost 500 positions, including different versions of the same programs: it is not easy to sort out such a variety.

AT Apple iOS has its own "restraint" function, and therefore alternatives and additions in the store App Store an order of magnitude smaller than in Google Play. On the Microsoft platform Windows phone 8, which is expected to be released soon, will also have a built-in parental control feature.

Android on guard

The list of all available programs that could help parents limit their children's use of smartphones and tablets, and at the same time keep an eye on the actions of the child, is long.

Most of these applications are organized according to the principle of creating a "sandbox": parents indicate safe from their point of view programs from among those installed on a mobile device, and the child gets access only to them. Changing the settings is locked with a password. Access to calls and others paid services carriers too can be configured.

AT free application"Children's Playground" (Kids Place) for the child, a separate shell is launched with programs selected by the parents, from which the child cannot exit without knowing the password. The shell will also automatically start when the device is rebooted: if an application similar in functionality does not have such an option, then all other barriers become meaningless.

Alternatively, you can find Kytephone programs on Google Play: Parental Control, Best Parental Control Android and others. The mentioned applications differ slightly from each other.

In most cases, the browser can be included in the number of programs available in the "sandbox", but developers do not always puzzle themselves with finer settings for filtering individual sites or their categories. If the child, according to the parents, has already grown up to the Internet, but not to everything that is there, it is necessary to look for a solution with detailed settings browsing.

RIA News. Igor Zarembo

Sometimes "protective redoubts" built by gadget manufacturers do not prevent a child from receiving forbidden information.

Parental Control "Kaspersky Lab" is served by the authors just as a means of controlling visits to "non-children's" sites. However, the program works based on its own "black" lists of sites, and these lists cannot be changed or supplemented.

Due to such inflexibility, for example, the Yandex search engine, and at the same time all the services of the same name, are among the trustworthy ones. In particular, the "Yandex. Pictures" service, combined with the knowledge of the "correct" keywords to search will allow the child to find absolutely any image.

Some applications, such as Symantec's Norton Safety Minder, require an account to be created on the service's website, through which parents can set limits for their child's device.

Such programs often refuse to work without access to the Internet, which can hardly be attributed to their merits. However, connection to the Internet, firstly, allows the device to work with constantly updated "black lists", and secondly, gives parents the opportunity to receive information about what is happening on the child's smartphone at any time through the online interface.

Allows you to monitor the device from afar, such as Safety Minder or Bitdefender Parental Control. Both of these applications, unlike the brainchild of Kaspersky Lab, also allow you to specify unwanted Internet addresses manually, and not rely only on the recommendations of the service itself. Sandboxing features with the ability to block applications and communication services are also provided by Bitdefender and Symantec products.

These and some other programs also allow you to set the time during which your child can use certain features of the phone, such as playing games or using the Internet. In addition, if the smartphone may be in the hands of different children, you can create your own profile with settings for each of them.

There are programs that protect not so much the child as the parent's wallet, for example, Phone Control costs more than 120 rubles. The application is specialized in fine tuning, including remote communication services available on the device, including a list of contacts with whom you can call and chat. The program also allows the parent to receive copies of incoming and outgoing SMS messages from the protected phone SMS and emails on their phone.

Protection from Apple

Parental controls built into operating system iOS allow you to restrict the use of some regular applications, as well as prohibit the installation and / or removal of applications. Among the programs that can be turned off are the Safari browser, the client for viewing videos on YouTube, the camera, the application for shopping in the iTunes online store for audio and video content.

To protect parental settings, a four-digit password is used, which gives about 10 thousand combinations. However, even if the child is patient, it will not be easy to guess the password: after several unsuccessful attempts, the device gradually increases the timeout before the next attempt. In addition, the number of failed attempts is displayed on the password entry screen, which will give away a young hacker with a head.

There are no settings for filtering sites in Safari. When you disable the application, it simply disappears from the menu. You can leave the opportunity to use respectable resources only with the help of third-party solutions.

The iOS platform imposes strict requirements on developers, which does not allow them to create programs that work at the system level and control other software without violating Apple prohibitions.

Thus, in fact, the only way to filter web content is to use a third-party browser that provides such functionality. At the same time, all other browsers must be removed (along with blocking the possibility of installing programs), and the standard Safari is disabled: otherwise, the meaning of using the "guardian" is lost.

RIA News. Alexey Kudenko

For Apple, the only way to filter web content is to use a third-party browser that provides this functionality.

In the absence of other browsers, the aforementioned Kaspersky Parental Control, also released for iOS, could help, but this protection, as has been shown, can be easily bypassed.

The K9 Web Protection Browser application better resists attempts to get to the forbidden fruits: the authors blocked the search for images and videos. By the way, the same application is also available on Google Play, but after installing it on a smartphone, it did not work stably, which negates all the advantages of the programs.

Windows and Blackberry

There are also options for control on Blackberry devices, if a parent wants to give their child one of these traditional smartphones for business communication: the corresponding Parental Controls application is available on the BlackBerry App World.

Through the application, you can allow calls to certain contacts(including incoming), allow or deny the use of the camera, Bluetooth, installation of applications and their use. There are no settings for the availability of Internet resources: you can either allow everything or prohibit everything.

Parental control service Kid "s Corner will become part of the platform, which is being prepared for release in the fall Microsoft Windows Phone 8. According to the description of the service, parents will be able to configure the availability of music, video, applications, but it is still impossible to judge how this will actually work. In the current version Windows platforms Phone 7 with the help of built-in tools, you can only configure the availability of certain applications for download.

Blackberry devices have an app that allows you to only allow calls to certain contacts

Summing up, we can say that the most difficult thing in parental control is reasonable content filtering on the Internet. Protecting children from online slums, it is harmful for parents to underestimate the curiosity of their children: in particular, it should be remembered that many applications have a built-in browser for reading links. For example, such a function is available in the official Twitter client.

Even if at the system level disable on the given child iPad browser Safari, then using the built-in browser windows, you can access the Web and, with some skill, get to the site of some search engine. From there, the road to almost any Internet resource is open.

Parental control is hidden program installed on mobile device child (phone, tablet or laptop based on Android) to control his actions on this device and GPS tracking.
