A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It would be nice if there was an actual article discussing how the parental controls on android phones actually work.

Not really, though it depends on what kind of controls you're trying to add/use. Samsung has its own version that operates more or less the same way. You still need to have a Samsung account. So it's that or use a third party app, or use the parental controls from your mobile provider. There may be other ways but this is what I know and what I use
