Ever buy yourself a minute of peace by handing your smartphone off to your child, but end up worrying what apps they may be purchasing? Kid's Corner on Windows Phone 8 is a feature designed to eliminate such worries.
Unveiled today at Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 event in San Francisco, Kid's Corner will let you choose which apps your little ones can access.
They'll be able to customize their own homescreen, and have a lock screen with their name and picture.
Kid's Corner is enabled from the settings menu. Once enabled, it pops up on the home screen as a Live Tile -- the icon is a picture of a pinwheel.
It's playtime
Live on stage at the event, Windows Phone Program Manager Joe Belfiore demonstrated the app by handing Windows Phones off to his three adorable children, all of them under 10 years of age.
The kids played Fruit Ninja and Battleship from their own personalized home screens.
While adults will easily be able to lock out social media, email and web browsing, Belfiore didn't get into specifics about how Kid's Corner will prevent in-app purchases from parent-approved games.
TechRadar will report more on Window Phone 8 as the event continues today.
