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 released a Kids Edition of the MatePad, which is designed with children in mind – for example it comes with a child-friendly anti shock case.
Huawei MatePads have parental controls available. You can set up parental controls by creating a Child Account to help limit screen time, access to apps on the child’s account and apply content restrictions. If an account is registered to a child under 14 years old, content restrictions and other parental controls will be activated by default. The Huawei AI Life app can also be used on a parent’s device to activate similar parental controls on their child’s Huawei MatePad.
Huawei has introduced the Kids Corner App for MatePads to help parents manage their child’s screen time, the content and apps they can access and more through a parental controls interface.
