Turn your Android into a safe are for kids
At some point, your kids are obviously going to ask for your phone to play. But how to make sure they don't use it inappropriately? How to stop them from accessing your multimedia gallery and seeing those photos and videos of you playing doctors? And how to prevent them from seeing all those dirty jokes your mates send you?
