SafetyMode Settings

Within the Other phone, the SafetyMode settings allow you to set:

Home Screen Layout

Choose between two interface options to match your child's needs:

List View (Default)

  • Simple, minimalist layout displaying apps in a clean list format
  • Designed for younger children or parents wanting to minimize phone usage
  • Reduces distractions and encourages intentional device use

Grid View

  • Traditional smartphone grid layout similar to standard Android/iOS
  • Gives children a familiar experience comparable to their friends' phones
  • Maintains all safety features while providing a conventional interface

Notification Management

Content Filter Management

Banned Words List Customize which words are filtered from your child's content:
