Use of Social Media: Nowadays, social media is craze among people of all ages, and children are also not untouched by it. But it is important for children that parents keep an eye on the use of social media, because it can have a negative impact on their mental and physical development. If your child is using social media on a smartphone, then you can make his use safe through some settings. Let us know how to turn on this setting.
Content Filtering and Parental Controls
For your information, let us tell you that it is very important to activate content filtering and parental control settings in the smartphone. There are many apps available in Google Play Store and Apple Store that block unwanted content for children. Additionally, you can also activate ‘Kids Mode’ on YouTube and other social media apps so that children can only see safe content.
Set Screen Time Limit
Set screen time limits to control children’s screen time. Every smartphone now has this option in which you can lock apps after a certain time. This will limit the child’s spending more time on social media and will also put less strain on their eyes.
App Pinning and Passcode Protection
Use app pinning settings on smartphones for children. This feature allows access to only one app in the phone, so that children cannot access other apps. Also, set passcodes on social media apps so that kids can’t use those apps without your permission.
turn off notification
Frequent notifications from social media can divert children’s attention. Therefore, turn off notifications of those apps which they use a lot. This will prevent children from checking the phone again and again.
Using these settings you can control your child’s social media usage and provide them with online safety.
