Let children explore safely

Children dive into the online world with curiosity and confidence. Parental controls help guide that exploration and reduce their exposure to risks.

Without limits, children may unintentionally see inappropriate content, interact with strangers, or make accidental in-app purchases.

Warning signs to watch for

  • Children hiding screens or quickly switching apps
  • Unexpected or high charges linked to games or apps
  • New contacts or messages from unknown people
  • Sudden changes in your child's mood after being online

Simple ways to stay safe

  • Set age-appropriate content and screen-time limits

  • Have regular open conversations about online safety
