Enable Kids Mode on Samsung Galaxy devices

We know very well that your children are impressively comfortable using the electronic devices around them, sometimes even more so than you are. However, you are aware of the risks involved in using electronic devices and going online.

Samsung's Kids Mode is an excellent tool that helps you protect your child from potential risks and lets them use your phone or tablet without the stress of constantly checking what they are watching and whether it is suitable for their age.

With Samsung Kids Mode, you essentially create an environment for children to use. It is a separate user profile, designed to be easy for younger children to interact with, featuring a bright, fun and simplified theme. Your child will be able to create characters and access apps and games designed specifically for their age. Parents also have control over app usage limits and their children's total screen time.

To enable Kids Mode, go to the Quick Settings buttons and, in the empty space with the + button, you will find the «Kids» button, which you can drag into Quick Settings. Tap «Done» once you have placed the button in position. Now you can get started by tapping «Kids» in Quick Settings, then tapping «Start»  to download all the necessary components of Kids Mode, after which an introductory screen will appear.

Tap «Next» and enable «Add Samsung Kids to the Apps screen». From the selection of apps displayed on the screen, choose the ones your child wants and confirm by tapping «Install» in the Galaxy Store menu that appears. To access parental controls, tap the three-dot menu icon at the top right and select «Parental controls».

Using your fingerprint or another secure method, you can access the controls to set your preferred limits, as well as view information about usage and the content your child has created. Once you have finished and want to leave Kids Mode, tap the three-dot menu and select «Close Samsung Kids». You will need to use your fingerprint again to exit.
