Protect purchases on Google Play

It is advice that you should do yes or yes, since there are many apps with purchases in the app or game itself and that can upset you, if you do not have it configured.
Control access to content on Youtube
In the app Youtube, if we go to Settings> General> Restricted mode we can prevent the videos that YouTube considers as explicit from being displayed. It is true that the video platform does not allow anything excessively sexual or violent, but it does not hurt to put a little control, to prevent them from accessing content that is not suitable for them.
Activate parental controls on Google Play
