In today's popularity of smart phones, our lives have been inseparable from the various conveniences brought by smart phones, and the same is true for children as a student group. However, due to the learning life of the student group, smart phones have not become the standard of the student group, and it just so happens that children's smart watches have taken the opportunity to get in place. Using children's smart watches to add classmates as friends, using children's smart watches to call classmates, has also become the standard in the student group, it seems that without a children's smart watch it is difficult to integrate into the social circle between students.
However, behind the children's smart watches, parents as adults ignore the safety issues brought by children's smart watches and the protection of children's personal privacy.
What are the potential problems with children's smartwatches?
1. Many children's smart watches still use very old low-level Android systems, which leads to rogue software can unscrupulously read the privacy information in children's smart watches on children's smart watches, such as children's photos, contacts, microphones, and even children's real-time location and videos.
2. Even if some children's smart watches use a relatively safe high-end Android system, they are still not so safe in actual use. Because when the child opens some software on the children's smart watch, the software will ask for sensitive permissions such as address books, albums, recordings, etc. If the child chooses to refuse, then the software will flash back, affecting normal use. However, if you choose to agree, there are certain security risks. Unlike iOS, the software still works after certain permissions are disabled.
Technology is a double-edged sword, children's smart watches do bring a lot of convenience to parents, you can check the child's location at any time, and the child's instant call, etc., but this also shows from the side that the current children's smart watch market is still in a mixed stage, there are still many safety issues.
So how do we keep our children's information safe?
1. Parents should pay more attention to the protection of some security and privacy information on the system when choosing children's smart watches for their children.
2. Give priority to well-known children's smart watch brands, do not covet cheap to choose some cottages, there are hidden dangers of safety hidden dangers of children's smart watches.
3. Do not download and install unknown software from non-app stores, and eliminate security risks from the source.
4. It is best to check your child's smartwatch regularly to help your child filter the installation and intrusion of malware.
Of course, as a children's smart watch manufacturer, we should also pay more attention to this issue, so as to jointly create a healthy and safe children's smart watch ecology. The most important thing is that the relevant regulatory authorities can intervene in this and formulate relevant rules to maximize the protection of children's information security.
