Help - setting up an android phonefor a 10 yo

Hi folks,

I'm giving my old S3 to my son (he's 10) and I wondered what the best way to set it up was. My main concern is to ensure he doesn't go installing anything and everything and that he can't get access to adult material. It's running Archidroid (on android 5.1.1).

I could set it up using my Google account etc but I hought I'd poll the more intelligent to see if there is a better way.

Thanks for any advice

Install all apps he will need and then remove the play store app

All can be done via adb/recovery.

And for a browser use a browser you can blacklist keywords on to avoid dodgy content. (Unsure on this one)

Good ideas, folks. Thanks. This started out as such a simple idea.
