ntil recently, ensuring your children remained
safe online was a reasonably simple a air.
Often the only computer they used was
the family PC, which could be set up with parental
control software that would limit the web browser
and instant messaging chats, and hopefully prevent
them handing over passwords or fi nancial and
personal details. These applications also provided a
way to limit the time that kids spent on the computer,
and some packages even o ered ways to keep an
eye on what they were doing.
But with the advent of mobile technology,
this landscape has changed rapidly. Now it’s not
uncommon for a family to have tablets, laptops and
phones that can access information online, and
keeping control of all these devices can feel like
a Sisyphean task. Android Advisor is here to help,
with this guide on how you can use system settings,
device features and parental control software to
chase the digital wolves from your doors.NEXUS 6 Allows
