Any smartphone owner who has handed their phone to their child knows that children can access areas they should not be accessing. For instance, if your smartphone has a touchscreen display, your child can easily open up an important app containing your data and mess it up. Here to prevent that from happening is a tool called Android Parental Control – an app that locks selected applications on your Android phone.
