Family Safety

Hi,
I have Microsoft family safety on computers - cant remember how I set it up.


Just wondering if there is someway of putting it on a tablet? Or another recommended safety system?


Also as they also have internet access on playstation, PSP and DSs is there anything similar for games machines?

Make sure you are signed in as an administrator
Go to settings- Change pc settings- Select Users- Add user- Add account info- Next

If you want to monitor what they are up to.
- From start screen- Type family- >Settings- Choose family safety- Choose an account you wish to monitor- Family safety, choose ON, enforce current settings.You will now receive weekly emails about your childs tablet/PC use.

Sorry, thought you were referring to a Windows tablet as you mentioned MS....My bad, it you weren't

You don't say what type of tablet. (Android, iOS, Windows)

When my kids were younger I used to install K9 Web Protect on their computers. There's an Android app for this too, and I suspect also for the other OS types.

For protection with other devices, having router-based filters is probably the best you can do. If and how this is setup depends on who your ISP is and what router you are using.

Thanks - been years since I set up the computers - just couldn't remember what I had done.




The tablet is Samsung so I think that makes it an Android will check out the app you mentioned. With sky broadband, never heard of router- based filtering will check the sky website.
