SkieHow do I set up parental controls on my child's tablet?
Use any Android 12 or newer tablet, reset it once with no Google account, and set it up with Skie. Then choose the apps, lock the adult-site filter, hide the Play Store and add study and bedtime windows from the web dashboard. A tablet is managed exactly like a phone.
A tablet is often the first screen a child owns, and it is where much of the unsupervised watching happens. Skie treats it with the same weight as a phone.
Start with the device. It must run Android 12 or newer and have Google Play services. If it has been used, back up what you need, remove any Google account and reset it. Then set it up with the Skie Provision app on your own phone or with a computer and cable.
Once it is managed, open the dashboard. Pick the apps your child should have: reading, drawing, learning games, maybe a video app. Everything else is hidden. Hide the Play Store so no installs or purchases happen. The adult-site filter is locked on the device, and Chrome, if you allow it, has SafeSearch and restricted mode forced on.
Add windows. A tablet used for homework might have a study window in the early evening and a quiet night window. They switch on their own and keep working if the Wi-Fi drops.
The child cannot uninstall Skie, factory reset from Settings, enter safe mode or turn on developer options. A tablet in a bedroom or a car is protected the way a phone is.
A Wi-Fi-only tablet works for most features. It cannot place ordinary calls, so the SOS call needs a device with a mobile connection.
Pricing is on request, and Skie does not sell tablets.
