Samsung Announces New Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition, Creating a Safe Environment for Kids Online

Samsung Electronics America today announced the U.S. availability of the all-new Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition. In today’s digital age, kids are increasingly exposed to technology starting from a young age, and it’s important that they have the tools needed to engage safely. With Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition, parents can shape a safer environment for their child to happily explore and connect with the digital world on the go.

“The Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition is designed to provide a space for children to use technology safely, while also providing them the room to learn, grow, create, stream, and explore,” said Drew Blackard, Vice President of Mobile Product Management. “Parents can even create profiles for their children and personalize their settings – for a user experience that is loved by kids and trusted by parents.”

Samsung Kids App: Preloaded on A9+ for Added Safety

The Samsung Kids app is preloaded on Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition and empowers parents to curate customized safety protocols by creating profiles for each child. With this feature, parents will have the ability to set specific screen time limits, restrict access to certain apps, and monitor their child’s online activities. For example, this allows parents to block access to certain social media sites or ensure that their child spends only a predetermined amount of time on gaming apps daily.

In addition, the Samsung Kids app provides a safe environment for online browsing and a curated app store, enabling children to engage with age-appropriate content vetted by parents. The app even offers a wide range of kid-friendly content, such as educational games and interactive stories, all within a secure environment.

Parents can even enhance their child’s learning experience by customizing the interface of the Samsung Kids app. This allows parents to add apps tailored to their child’s interests or help them build skills related to thinking, science, and math. The Samsung Kids app can even be personalized with a child’s favorite colors or photos from the gallery.
