I think if parents need that much control then Android has features for parental control. I think ๐ค, it's admin mode or something
No. Android doesn't. Google does. But not everyone wants to have anything to do with Google. Some OEMs do, like Samsung. But it's not in AOSP or basic Android feature. But my point wasn't to spy on the kid. It was device ownership.
Edit: Even this gets downvoted. You guys are fucking lunatics. A Child... using a phone given to them, can't even consent to the shit Google does to you legally. But you want their data "protected" from their parents so that a parent can't at least enforce decent digital hygiene. Ya'll fucking dumb. Your kids are going to do dumb shit and you want the parents who are supposed to be responsible for raising the kid to have no power to actually raise them even though it's literally the parents device.
