Is the Kid-Safe experience tamper-proof?

Safe Surfer's Kid-Safe Experience with supported Samsung devices takes advantage of a Samsung technology called Knox, which enables us to provide a tamper-proof (or locked down) experience. With regard to the Knox software solution, we can provide the following functionality in addition to our normal experience for all Android phones:


  • Force disable the factory reset features of the device (inside both the Settings app and the hardware recovery features), along with disabling the flashing of firmware inside Download mode
  • Force disable the Safe mode feature
  • Force disable sideloading apps (that is, attempting to manually install apps outside of an app store)
  • Force hide the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store apps, which are used to download apps
  • Force hide various other apps, such as Google Chrome, Samsung Internet, and YouTube


These special features can be used when you install the Kid-Safe experience on a compatible Samsung device. You can find out more by clicking this link.
