Announcing the release of EIE's Guide: Smartphones for Children and Teens
 

INTRODUCING EIE'S GUIDE ON SMARTPHONES FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS! 

This week we're excited to release EIE’s Smartphones for Children and Teens, a vital resource that includes navigable links to the most important safety and privacy settings for specialized phones designed for use by children and teens, along with information about the basic parental controls available in Apple and Android smartphones. 

Parents can help their children use smartphones in a safer way by talking to them about online risks, which include contact with online predators, traffickers and bullies, as well as exposure to inappropriate content. Additionally, parents are encouraged to set safety rules and use parental controls to ensure their kids use smartphones safely.

This table lists important safety features for smartphones designed for use by children and teens, along with built-in settings for Apple iPhones and smartphones that use the Android operating system, such as Samsung. The table is divided into three sections: general administrative controls, application-level controls such as content filtering, and monitoring and alert options. Where an option is available there is a “learn how” link to the appropriate documentation page providing instructions on how to use the safety setting.
