Yeah was thinking about a switch, but I'm a bit reluctant due to high cost of games. They mainly use the tablet to game while traveling, at home they play with their toys or on the xbox.

With Family Link everything can be locked down.
Yes it may sound extreme but based on The Social Dilemma and presentations at our school from people who did a lot of research into this topic, I'm going to go with their recommendation to keep them off social media until 18. Probably won't be easy indeed.
After watching The Social Dilemma and seeing that people who worked high up at eg Facebook also didn't want their kids on there, I'm going to try to do the same.
Thanks for the insights. Totally agree with you. Yep, I'm having those conversations and she understands it more and more.
Thanks, interesting site! Bookmarked.
Thanks for civ tip!
I've got pi hole as DNS ad blocker. Works great.
I'm not too worried about that tbh. It's the same thing that when she gets a mobile phone it will be very limited, only call, text and messaging. No social media until she's 18. Thanks though for checking.
Thanks, yes play Pass looks cool so far.
Also going to look at emulators. Thanks.
I agree there's a lot of crap, and it takes some time and conversation. Lots of tips in this topic as well. Eg Play Pass looks pretty cool so far, and I'm going to look at F Droid and installing an emulator.
I'm also explaining to her why I reject some apps. She seems to understand it better and better.
I'm also going to look at using Tasker to set it to airplane mode on all apps except Play Store and Chrome.
I've subscribed, and that section shows up. However it only shows games, not apps. Eg Tasker is included.
Thanks for your insights. My goal as well is to teach them instead of just refusing those games. She already starts to understand better.
SV was a favourite but we've played it a lot already and we have lost interest. Will look into Ordia!
