Pinwheel is launching a smartphone for kids in the U.K. Pinwheel devices allow parents to monitor kids’ text messages, call history, and app usage, while approving contacts and setting time limits. While many tech companies have implemented parental controls for social media and screen time, these often require multiple accounts, which some find complicated. Pinwheel, however, is known for its centralized portal for parents to easily customize settings as their children grow. (The Independent)
