PARENTALfor CONTROLS PRIVACY AndroidAndroid Phone

The settings on an Android device allow you to set certain rules to help safeguard your child’s privacy when they are using it. For example, you can turn off location services to keep their whereabouts private; prevent third-party apps and sites from viewing their information; and stop apps from accessing other functions of the phone (like the camera or microphone, for example). We’ve produced step-by-step guides on how to tighten up an Android phone’s privacy settings.
