[Android Central Question]

HI -We have my son's phone locked down so he can't get into age-inappropriate things in You Tube, etc... We have also had to limit access to INTERNET BROWSERS due to him getting into inappropriate websites DURING School. He has a phone so he can call/text us for rides, etc. But we have had to completely disable TEXTING -because he found a back-door into the internet through the GIF search and the Google Search bar that appear in the keyboard. Are there any KEYBOARD apps without GIF ? Without SEARCH? Or that allow Parental Controls to turn those options off ? Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! Have you considered getting him a "dumbphone" instead? Then your son would still have the ability to make calls in an emergency, but wouldn't be able to access the web (or would only have really terrible access, through a dumbphone's limited browser).
