When it comes to babies, we get into a complete whole new world, we ignore most of the facts about them and the reason is that we interact with adults and kids mostly on a daily basis. This explains why we know so little about babies!
Parental Control
On Android devices, there are a variety of versions and modifications made by the device brands themselves. These modifications cause problems in the use of SecureKids, since the service may stop working or simply does not perform it correctly.
The SecureKids service consists of a large number of functionalities that make it a useful service for parents who want to avoid their children having problems with new technologies. With this service you can avoid excessive use of devices or access to inappropriate content that can be accessed without a tool like this.
Hoy os hablaremos sobre otra de las características que definen a SecureKids. Esa es la geolocalización. Dicho de otra manera, la geolocalización es una especie de GPS que permite al padre del menor saber la situación exacta donde se encuentra el pequeño.
Some Android devices have a feature which allows to add new users on the same device. Using this feature, someone who is not the smartphone owner can use it in a quick way without having to make major changes on the device.
Nowadays, there are new services available in our daily lives which are also available for the little ones at home. One of these services are video on demand (VOD) and digital content offered online. As we are already familiar with these content and services, we know the content can be whatever you can think of and of diverse nature. This presents a problem for the little ones at home as they are content not welcomed for kids.
How to control the content our kids can watch on these Video on Demand platforms (YouTube, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, etc.)?
Today we explain how to stop such problems for our kids on famous and well-known online platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, HBO and Amazon Video. The solutions we present can be applied not only on Android devices but in any device they use.
Let’s start!
Parental Control on YouTube
Let’s start with YouTube, which is Google’s video platform to share videos and audiovisual content. In this case, we already explain 2 solutions in previous posts to enable the parental control on Youtube. The first solution is only available on Android and it’s the app called YouTube Kids in which kids can only watch videos recommended for their age. The second solution is changing the YouTube settings so it doesn’t show videos not recommended for kids, in this article you have how to enable this setting
Parental Control on Netflix
The first Video on Demand (VoD) platform to watch series and movies on demand is Netflix. There are a couple of ways to protect our kids from inappropriate content on Netflix. The first way we recommend is to create a specific profile for them and set it as a children account or profile, so they can’t access the inappropriate content. Netflix allows up to 5 different profiles in the same account, to add a new profile go to Manage Profiles in My Profile section of your Account. Remember each of the accounts has to have a different name.
You can set the parental control in the profile you wish in the Manage Profiles section. You have to click or tap on Manage Accounts and then click or tap on the desired profile and choose to enable the parental control on series and movies.
Furthermore, if you want to be more thorough you can set a PIN code and choose what content they can watch according to their age recommendation, so when they try to watch a content not allowed, it will ask for this PIN code. You can also block certain content you wish. To do so you online have to go to the PIN section and follow the steps.
Enable the parental control on HBO
In HBO, we have 2 profiles already created when we access their website. We can choose between “Series and movies” or “kids”. In the Kids profile the content available is the content recommended up to 12 years old. Furthermore, in settings we can activate the parental control tool by setting a PIN code, this PIN code will be required when they try to change profiles or go to settings. To enable it, we only have to go to the settings in this section.
We don’t forget Amazon Video
Lastly, we have Amazon Video, it has the same method to block inappropriate content and it is through a 5-digit PIN code and we choose the content we want to block. You can choose among the following categories:
- Kids (all ages)
- Kids (not recommended for children under 7)
- Teenagers (not recommended for teenagers under 13)
- Teenagers (not recommended for teenagers under 16)
- Adults (not recommended for adults under 18)
To activate it we have to go to our account and settings, there you can find the parental control section.
Look for the complete protection of your family!
We hope this article was useful and helpful for you to protect your kids from inappropriate content they can access on these Video on Demand platforms.

A parental control is essential in today’s society with all the devices minors have at their reach.
The fact minors get devices at an earlier age makes this type of services more than necessary.
Parental controls are not only for mobile devices, but also for computers. Minors also use PCs very often and they can be affected by problems such as viruses or spam. Threats which minors can’t solve without their parents’ assistance.
How to block a phone number? is a question that many parents ask. And who would not? We have all received unwanted calls, from unknown numbers, from the tireless companies that pretend to sell us their telephony packages at an incredibly low price (or so they say), or even hidden numbers that we do not know what they want.
Many of you may have encountered problems with the Huawei and Honor devices of your children. The SecureKids application can be closed! How is this possible? Although SecureKids work perfectly in Android, not all devices that have Android work just as they have slightly modified versions of this operating system.
