How to set up Galaxy for Families
Galaxy for Families is a safe space for your family to interact and connect online. It enables children to have their first device, while you protect and manage their screen activity through parental controls.
A child account allows young users to set up their own device and create their own experience in a safe environment, with access to age-appropriate apps, games, and content.
Family Share keeps you connected with the rest of your family by sharing synchronised features and services, such as a shared family album, shared family health and more. Find out more about how to use Family Share features.
Please note: Parental controls for child accounts can only be managed on and applied to Galaxy devices with One UI 6.1 or higher.
