Kids Mode
Samsung's Kids Mode allows you to control which
apps your children can use via an intuitive interface
Installing Kids Mode
Some Galaxy devices don't have Kids Mode installed by default,
instead they have a shortcut which redirects to Samsung Apps. Click
the icon you'll be presented with a download option. If the shortcut
is not included, try adding a widget to your home screen and see if
'Kids Mode 1x1' appears. If it does, add this to your home screen and
click to download and install the main app.
Explore the features
The Kids Mode application uses large, bright icons that are attractive
to children, together with an intuitive user interface and built-in
applications. There is also a 'Kids Store' section; this includes both
free and paid Samsung and third-party applications for Kids Mode
for additional functionality. Kids Mode already includes a drawing
and colouring application in which children can either draw their
own pictures with a number of brushes or they can use one of a
large number of stickers before saving their creations to view in the
gallery. A sound recording tool allows children to alter the sound
of their voice to match on-screen characters and a camera app
enables them to take pictures or videos. Access and usage limits can
be controlled individually.
