How to Promote a Safe and Healthy Smartphone Use?

Smartphones and tablets were designed to make our lives easier. While it’s true that they have many benefits, they also lack security. The danger exists out there, particularly for children. Parents have been frantically searching for a way to keep kids safe while using smart devices.

First, companies responded to security threats by creating parental control apps that can restrict access and block certain websites. But, generation Y and Z are more tech-savvy than any other generation we have come across. Today, parental control users can surpass restrictions with just a few google visits. Even younger children can get around these apps; a parent installs inside a device.

Second hackers can easily get access to your child’s device. In the age of the internet, it does not take long for hackers and adult content to get in front of your child’s device. A movement that sparked concerned a few months ago was the Momo Challenge. Hoax or not, it opened the eyes of parents everywhere for the increasing dangers kids face online.

Having your child sitting next to you on the sofa or even just down the hall in their room is not safe. Children and teenagers are exposed to more content than ever before. Taking their phones and tablets away is not enough. Most of their activity takes place online, including homework and school assignments.

So what can parents do?

One trend we are seeing is companies uniting forces to protect our youth better.

A great example is Samsung devices and their initiatives with several tech partners. We see more parents switching to Samsung products because they provide technology with the perfect synergy of indestructible software and hardware.

Today, Apple products cannot guarantee safety for younger generations. Most of the parental restrictions Apple provides can be navigated around with ease.

So what should you look for in your parental App?
