There are a lot of devices running Android operating systems. From Samsungs to Motorolas, everything that isn’t an Apple device uses Google’s operating system. The one thing they all share is the Google Play Store, where you can purchase and download apps. However, you might not want your little one accidentally purchasing apps, books or movies without your permission. With their parental controls, you can ensure your little one isn’t draining your bank account without you knowing!

To access parental controls:

Open the Google Play app.

At the top right, tap the profile icon.

Tap Settings, then Family and then Parental controls.

Turn on Parental controls.

To protect parental controls, create a PIN that your child doesn't know.

Select the type of content that you want to filter.

Choose how to filter or restrict access.

With this, you can set age ratings so that anything that is not age appropriate for your child will be locked off and will not be accessible to them.

If you want to ensure your child is 100% safe and secure using their Android device, you should probably download the Google Family Link app. From there, you can view their apps, limit screen time, use GPS to see their location, and control what apps they’re accessing.
