Choose something that you'll remember, as you'll need this PIN to bypass these controls in the future. Parental controls are now enabled. A list of age groups will appear. This depends on what you want to allow people to download. App developers enter these age ranges when adding their apps to the Play Store.
Tap OK on the confirmation. This message just lets you know that future app downloads from the Play Store will be restricted based on your selection. Now that you've enabled parental restrictions, users of this Android will not be able to install apps from the Play Store outside of their age group. To disable these restrictions, go back to the Parental controls screen and slide the switch to the off position.
Alternatively, you can apply parental controls to Google Play downloads and purchases using the Family Link app. To do so, open the Family Link app and select your child. Method 3.

Tap the app with notifications you want to block. The parent simply clicks the app they want to block and then apply changes. Typically within 5 — 10 minutes those apps will stop working.

When blocking is no longer needed, the parent simply clicks the app again, and it shows up in the allowed list.
A summary of blocked apps and games is always shown in the dashboard in the main activity summary page. In addition to the traditional blocking of apps and games in appblocker, Netsanity has also created another restriction possible for Samsung devices — disabling the icons apps on the screen.
Now a parent can quickly disable any app that is inventoried by our software and instantly disable it! So now ANY app, even non-internet ones like Minecraft and others, can be instantly disabled. If that app is ALSO part of the appbloker or gameblocker inventory, it gets blocked there as well in case a child wants to access it via a browser. Youtube is a perfect example of this. By disabling the Youtube app, the icon is frozen and cannot be used. However a child can quickly open up Chrome and go to the youtube website and watch from there.
By also disabling it in appblocker, we have shut down the use of that software everywhere! Regardless of platform, we know that blocking and disabling apps is the key to controlling screentime. Netsanity makes it easy with its revolutionary features. Netsanity was made by parents for parents. With easy to use software designed to give control and sanity back to parents, Netsanity enables a safer and healthier mobile experience for kids. See for yourself with a free trial!
