Check the settings on whatever browser your kids use (Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and make sure they use Google as their default search engine.
2.Set Limit
On your kid’s gadgets, you can put limits on either (and lock them with a passcode so they can’t be changed back). Alternatively, you can use Apple’s Family Sharing function to remotely control your child’s phone, as with other parental control tools.
