If you have young children, you know that they always ask to play with your smartphone tirelessly.
And while you may be concerned about restricting screen time, sometimes you just need to keep them occupied while you focus on answering a work email, or ending that conversation with a close friend. In those times, it's great that Samsung built a complete sandbox experience for kids into their Galaxy phones called Kids Home. In fact, handing over your precious smartphone to your child can be overwhelming. What will they enter and what will they mess with? But fortunately, once you own a Samsung Galaxy device, you can avoid this by giving them their own space in Kids Mode.
Samsung describes Kids Mode as a "digital playground" and that's very accurate. It is a special environment for children only. Basically, it's a separate user profile that's kid-friendly. Kids mode also has a bright and fun theme that is simplified for kids. Your child can create characters and access apps and games designed just for them. Of course, it is not just a free service for everyone but more than that. Where parents can set up controls, app usage limits, and screen time limits. Simply Kids Mode is like a phone designed specifically for kids, that can be used at any time.
