What apps aren't supported on the Essentials mode for the Kid-Safe Experience?
The Safe Surfer Kid-Safe Experience uses the Samsung Knox technology to provide this experience. Most smartphone and tablet devices come with various built-in apps, which means that we have to force disable some apps to provide the intended experience. Due to this, some apps cannot be used in Essentials mode, because they are force disabled by the Knox security technology.
