MobiWire smartphones

What it is
MobiWire smartphones is a line of Android-based smartphones (meaning they are powered by Google’s Android operating system), owned by MobiWire Group.

How it works
The smartphones are positioned as a “great value, reliable option”. In addition to giving users access to Google Play’s app store, which hosts millions of apps, they can also do most of the things you would expect to be able to do with a smartphone, such as message friends or take photographs.

Parental controls or safety settings available
MobiWire smartphones do have parental controls available and these can be accessed through the Google Family Link app. This gives parents the ability to:

• Set daily time limits

• Restrict their child’s access to specific apps, websites or features

• View the location of their child’s device

See the Permission Manager and Digital Wellbeing and settings for further privacy and safety options.
