Teaches: a parenting utility built into Microsoft Phones

CTR Review

This is a utility that is built into the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. Kid's Corner lets you put your Windows Phone in a special mode for kids, allowing them to access only the apps and media you specify. The idea is that you can start Kid's Corner, pass your device to your child, and know that they won't wander into your email. To turn Kid's Corner on/off, tap the Settings icon > Kid's Corner. You can then choose which music, videos or games you want your child to see. By default, you can't make any Windows Phone Store purchases from Kid's Corner. However, if you set up a Wallet PIN on your phone, your child will be able to make in-app purchases (such as game points or levels) from within Kid's Corner. You'll need to enter the PIN to complete each purchase, however.
