How it works
Huawei MatePads are larger in size than Huawei smartphones, and they may have additional features such as a stylus for drawing. However many of their functions and features are the same – they both allow users to surf the internet, watch videos, play games, listen to music, read books and access a range of apps through the Huawei AppGallery (the official app store for Huawei) and more. Some Huawei MatePads also include a widget called Petal Search, which enables people to access millions of apps.
Huawei has a Kids Edition of the MatePad, which is designed with children in mind – for example it comes with a child-friendly anti shock case.
Parental controls or safety settings available
Huawei MatePads have parental controls available:
• The Kids Corner App for MatePads help parents manage their child’s screen time, the content and apps they can access and more through a parental controls interface.
• Parents can use the Digital Balance settings to manage time spent online.
• The Huawei AI Life app can also be used on a parent’s device to activate similar parental controls on their child’s Huawei devices.
If a Huawei tablet includes the ‘PrivateSpace’ hidden profile where parental controls may not apply, parents may wish to pin-protect this profile.
