Samsung Kids
No APISamsung's built-in kids mode for Galaxy devices with a colorful kid-friendly interface, curated apps, screen time controls, and content restrictions.
About Samsung Kids
Samsung Kids is a dedicated kids mode built into Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets. When activated, it replaces the standard home screen with a bright, playful interface containing only parent-approved apps and content. Samsung Kids includes a curated collection of educational apps, creative tools (drawing, music, camera with fun filters), and age-appropriate games. Parents control which apps are accessible, set daily usage limits, and restrict access to phone features like the camera, contacts, and Samsung Internet. The mode is protected by PIN so children cannot exit without parental permission. Samsung Kids also includes My Art, My Camera, My Browser (with curated sites only), and integration with Samsung's broader family management features.
