Install additional features for the Kid-Safe experience

This step shows you how to use additional features available inside the Safe Surfer app for the Kid-Safe Experience. If you previously restarted the phone, simply enter the PIN for the Safe Surfer app to open it.

The first optional feature is Text & social media monitoring. Tap the Enable button found under the Text & social media monitoring section.

Tap the switch for the Safe Surfer app listing.

Tap the Allow option.

Location tracking

IMPORTANT: Please note that the Location tracking feature is subject to various environmental and technical factors. Due to this, it will not always be 100% accurate, which is normal. Google mentions that the Android "Location Accuracy [technology] uses available signals to estimate location."

The second optional feature is Location tracking. Tap the Enable button found under the Location tracking section.

Tap the OK option on the prompt that appears.

Tap the Enable button.

Tap the Confirm option on the prompt that appears.

Tap the Settings option.

Tap the switch found next to Use precise location.

Tap the back button at the upper-left corner.

Nudity detection

The third optional feature is Nudity detection. Tap the Download & enable button found under the Nudity detection section.

If you would like to change the frequency that the Safe Surfer app checks the screen, tap the Custom option under the Nudity detection section.

If you're not sure about what settings to choose, we recommend leaving the default option selected.

You can select from three options:

Battery saver mode (reduced frequency, which helps preserve battery, especially for devices more than several years old)
Normal mode (balanced frequency, being every several seconds)
Accuracy mode (increased frequency)

Tap the option that you would like to use for this device.

Once you've done this, you've finished setting up the additional features on the Kid-Safe experience. If you're setting up a Kid-Safe device for the first time, you can continue the setup guide by clicking this link.
