Unfortunately, attempting to keep this information away from the eyes of children is becoming increasingly more difficult. Samsung is looking to combat this by releasing a new application called “Family Care”.
The Family Care application will not only give parental control over which apps can be installed or how long a device can be used, but also notifications and reminders.
