One UI 7 Has Enhanced Parental Controls To Block Explicit Content

Samsung introduced the stable version of One UI 7 with the Galaxy S25 series last month. As expected, the South Korean giant’s updated custom Android skin brought a lot of new features and took customization to the next level. Samsung is currently offering the beta version of One UI 7 to the Galaxy S24 series users. Ahead of the rollout for more devices, a new report has revealed that One UI 7 brings enhanced parental controls to block explicit content to safeguard minors on the internet.

One UI 7 provides enhanced parental controls for the Samsung Internet and Galaxy Store apps

According to Android Authority, the One UI 7 version provides better parental controls to limit what content is available to minors through the Samsung Internet and Galaxy Store apps. These apps allow parents to manage what content their child can access from devices running One UI 7. Parents can enable a content filter that blocks “sexually explicit and violent sites” in the Samsung Internet app, for instance.

Samsung states that this filter may not block all explicit content due to the sheer number of sites on the internet. However, the new One UI version allows parents to set the “maximum rating allowed for apps and games from the Galaxy Store.”

Here’s how to control what content your child can access from the Samsung Internet and Galaxy Store apps

To control what content your child can access through the Samsung Internet and Galaxy Store apps, go to the Digital Wellbeing and parental controls option under your Galaxy 25’s settings. This new “Content restriction” page allows parents to control web content available through both the Samsung Internet and app/game downloads from the Galaxy Store.

Using these new features, you can set limits on what apps and games your child can download using their Samsung account. You can set these ratings to show “all ages,” “12+,” “16+,” or “18+.” It’s worth mentioning that these new content restriction settings will likely show up during device setup for a child for the first time. Once a parent configures a phone for a child, they will likely need to approve any future changes.

It’s worth mentioning that the One UI 7.0 stable release for the other Samsung smartphones, including the Galaxy S24 lineup, could be further away than you think. According to reports, Samsung is close to releasing the One UI 7 beta 4 version for these phones. However, the stable rollout of the new firmware is still a long way off. We are closely watching for Samsung to announce plans for the rollout of the One UI 7 stable rollout, so stay tuned to Android Headlines for regular updates.
