Nowadays, craze for social media is seen in everyone. Children are also showing interest in it, but it is important for them to be safe. If your children also use social media on smartphones, then it is very important that you make its use safe. With the help of some simple settings, you can make social media safe for children.

Content filtering and parental controls

Activating content filtering and parental control settings on children's smartphones is the first thing to do. There are many apps in Google Play Store and Apple Store that can block unwanted content. With such settings, you can show children only content appropriate for their age. Along with this, activate settings like YouTube Kids or Kids Mode so that they can watch only safe videos.

Set a screen time limit

It is not good for children's health if they spend too much time on screen. Therefore, choose the option of screen time limit in the smartphone. This feature is present in every smartphone, in which you can lock the apps after a fixed time. This will limit the time spent by the child on social media and there will be less strain on their eyes. For example, you can set a limit of spending only one hour on social media in a day.

Use app pinning and passcode protection

Using the app pinning feature in children's smartphones is a good option. With this feature, you can allow access to only one app in the phone. This will prevent children from accessing the rest of the apps. Also, set a passcode on social media apps so that they cannot use these apps without your permission. This increases the safety of children even more, because they will be able to use only those apps that you have given them.

Turn off notifications

Frequent notifications from social media can distract children. Therefore, turn off notifications of those apps which children use more. This will prevent them from looking at the phone again and again, and their attention will also remain on other important things.

Pay attention to children's social media safety

It is important to control children's social media use so that they can see only safe content and their mental development can take place properly. By using these settings, you can give children a safe online experience.
