Installing Kids Mode
Some Galaxy devices don’t hav e Kids Mode installed by default,
instead they have a shortcut which redirects to Galaxy Apps. Click
the icon you’ll be presented with a download option. If the shortcut
is not i ncluded, try adding a widget to your home screen and see if
‘Kids Mod e 1x1’ appears. I f it does, add this to your home scr een and
click to download and install the main app.
Explore the features
The Kids Mode application uses large, bright icons that are attractive
to children, together with an intuitive user interface and built-in
applications. There is also a ‘Kids Store’ section; this includes both
free and paid Samsung and third-party applications for Kids Mode
for additional functionality . Kids Mode already includes a drawing
and colouring application in which children can either draw their
own pictures with a number of brushes or they can use one of a
large number of stickers before saving their creations t o view in the
gallery. A sound recording tool allows children to alter the sound
of their voice to ma tch on-screen characters and a camera app
enables them to take pictures or videos. Access and usage limits can
be controlled individually.
