How to block adult content android
Blocking adult content on an Android device is like putting a special shield on your tablet or phone to keep out things that aren’t meant for kids. Here’s how we can do it:
Use Google Play Store Settings
- Open Google Play Store: Find the app that looks like a colorful triangle.
- Go to Settings: Tap on the three lines in the top left corner, then scroll down and tap on “Settings.”
- Parental Controls: Tap on “Parental controls” and turn it on. You’ll need to create a PIN that only you (or a grown-up) know.
- Set Filters: Choose what kind of content is okay for you to see. There are options to block apps, movies, and other stuff that might be too grown-up.
Use Safe Browsing in Google Chrome
- Open Chrome: This is the app that looks like a colorful circle.
- Settings: Tap on the three dots in the top right corner, then go to “Settings.”
- Safe Browsing: Go to “Privacy and security,” then “Safe Browsing,” and make sure it’s set to “Enhanced protection” to keep bad stuff away.
Use a Parental Control App
Sometimes, the best way to keep things safe is by using a special app designed to block adult content.
- Find a Parental Control App: Ask a grown-up to help you download an app like “Google Family Link” or “Qustodio” from the Google Play Store.
- Set Up the App: These apps usually need a grown-up to set them up. They can block websites and apps that aren’t for kids.
Use YouTube Kids
- YouTube Kids App: Instead of using regular YouTube, download “YouTube Kids” from the Google Play Store. It’s made just for kids, with videos that are safe and fun to watch.
Use AdGuard DNS
AdGuard DNS helps block bad websites at the network level, so anything connected to your Wi-Fi will be protected.
- Open Settings: Find the settings app on your device.
- Network & Internet: Go to “Network & Internet,” then tap on “Advanced” and “Private DNS.”
- Choose Private DNS Provider Hostname: Select “Private DNS provider hostname” and type in
dns.adguard.com
. - Save Settings: Tap on “Save” to apply the changes.
By doing all these things, your Android device will be much safer and only show content that’s just right for you.
