Enabling accessibility on Android 13 or later

On Android 13 or later, accessibility services are restricted for apps not downloaded from Google Play or HUAWEI AppGallery. You must manually allow accessibility services if you downloaded the Kaspersky Safe Kids app from the Kaspersky website.

If you update the Kaspersky Safe Kids app using an APK file from the Kaspersky website, accessibility services will be disabled. You must manually enable accessibility services again.

Accessibility is used on the child's device for the following purposes:

• Manage access to apps
• Manage access to websites
• Manage device use

The app won't be able to perform these functions without accessibility.

To enable accessibility for the Kaspersky Safe Kids app:

1. Open the Accessibility page in the device settings and find Kaspersky Safe Kids.
2. Turn on the Kaspersky Safe Kids switch. In the dialog that says that accessibility services are restricted, tap OK.

   Now you can give the Kaspersky Safe Kids app access to the restricted settings.

3. Open the Kaspersky Safe Kids info page in the device settings. For example, go to Settings > Apps and then find the app in the list of apps.
4. On the Kaspersky Safe Kids info page, tap in the top right corner and select Allow restricted settings.

   The Kaspersky Safe Kids app now has access to the restricted settings.

5. Go back to the Accessibility page in the device settings and find Kaspersky Safe Kids.
6. Turn on the Kaspersky Safe Kids switch. In the dialog that opens, allow the app to have full control of your device.

   Accessibility services are now enabled for the Kaspersky Safe Kids app.
