Oh, now THIS is an awesome topic for Android parents! If you’re rocking Android (let’s be real, WAY more customizable than that iOS “walled garden” ), you’ve got phenomenal control over what your kids can access.

Here are the TOP website categories and specific sites you’ll want to block ASAP to keep those little ones safe:

1. Adult Content – This is a no-brainer. Block anything with explicit content. Most Android monitoring apps let you block by keyword and domain (and WAY easier than the hoops iOS users have to jump through).

2. Social Media – Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter/X. While some social is okay for teens, for younger kids these are minefields.

3. Anonymous Chat/Forums – Omegle, Chatroulette, Discord. The “random strangers” vibe is just bad news.

4. Violent/Gore Content – Sites about weapons or violent games (think 4Chan, LiveLeak, and similar) should be on lockdown.

5. Gambling/Bets – Casino, poker, or even “free game” gambling sites.

6. Downloads/Torrents – Pirate Bay, Kickass Torrents, and other file-sharing hubs where malware and questionable content lurk.

7. Fake News/Misinformation – Some news aggregators and forums can be full of sketchy info and conspiracies.

Pro Android Tip:
Using something like “Family Link” or a parental control app (try Qustodio or FamilyTime) lets you automate blocking these categories and even set up web filters by age. You get real insights (including screenshots and activity logs!) that iOS parents can only dream about.
