How to Activate Safe Search

SafeSearch is a search engine feature that filters unsafe and offensive images, videos, and websites from search results. SafeSearch helps you to make sure your children are safe online. So parents, teachers, caretakers, and schools use SafeSearch to make the internet a safer place. For 12 years old or younger, this feature is enabled by default. If you are using Google’s family link app, only the parents can turn on or off the feature. Further, if you are using SafeSearch in school or at a workplace, only the administrators can activate Safe Search.
