Besides, the updated Kids mode also gets new cards. This will allow kids to monitor their activities and screen on time by themselves. Kids also have the freedom to set up their own smartphone usage plans.
Last but not least, the Samsung Kids mode also gets a new onboarding experience. Kids will be welcomed with characters from Crocro’s Little Friends on the welcome board.
There are a total of six characters that will show up on the Welcome Board. Kids will be able to interact with these characters and their interaction will differ based on the situations and kid’s age.
