Troomi Smart Browser: Parent-managed web browsing for kids
The Troomi Smart Browser is a web experience built just for kids. With three browsing modes, customizable website categories, and an easy approval process for new sites and YouTube channels, kids are free to browse, learn, and discover new interests within boundaries that can expand as they grow.
How It Works
Parent-controlled web access
Parents choose how much of the internet their child can access, with three browsing modes and tools for managing content categories. Websites can be pre-approved or blocked, and kids are able to request new web content from parents, who approve or deny requests right in the Troomi Parent Portal.
Web protection and Safe Search
Category-based content filtering and Safe Search, which is always on, help limit exposure to inappropriate websites and search results. Parents can also use Safelist Mode to give their kids access to approved websites only.
YouTube made safer
YouTube access can be switched on or off at any time, and parents have the ability to approve specific channels or videos, and to view their child's YouTube activity through the Parent Portal. This gives kids a way to enjoy video content through a focused, ad-free player free from comments, recommendations, and autoplay.
Part of Troomi's safe phone experience
The Troomi Smart Browser works alongside the Troomi App Store to create an online environment where kids are free to explore the web and discover new interests safely.

What Parents Are Saying
“Recently purchased the Troomi phone for my 13yo daughter. We wanted the ability to limit access to apps and web browsing. We did a lot of research and comparing and after having Troomi for just a few days, know it was the right decision. I love that we can sit down together and discuss websites she can have access to and that I can set time limits to everything.
Buying this phone was one of the best decisions we’ve made. It is both parent and kid approved!”

How does the Troomi Smart Browser work?
The Troomi Smart Browser lets you choose from three browsing modes and approve specific websites. Content category settings work together with Safe Search, which is always on, to tailor your child’s web experience to their interests and level of maturity. The Troomi Smart Browser is optional, for families that want their kids to have internet access, and is only available on the Discover service plan.
What are the Troomi Smart Browser's browsing modes?
There are three: Safelist, Explore, and Advanced. In Safelist Mode, your child can search for and open only sites you’ve approved. In Explore Mode, search results come from the content categories you allow, but your child can open only approved sites and can request access to others. In Advanced Mode, your child can search and browse sites in the categories you allow. New devices start in Safelist Mode.
Does the Troomi Smart Browser replace regular browsers?
It’s the default browser on the Discover service plan, giving your child a safer way to explore the internet. Parents can also approve Chrome as an app through the Troomi App Store and manage its time limits like any other app, but Troomi Smart Browser filtering, Safe Search, and activity reports don’t apply in Chrome.
Can I control YouTube with the Troomi Smart Browser?
Yes. The Troomi Smart Browser lets you decide exactly what your child can watch. You approve the videos and channels you feel are appropriate, and the browser removes ads, comments, and recommendations so kids don’t get pulled into unwanted content or addictive rabbit holes. Approving a channel approves every one of its videos.
Can I choose which sites or channels are allowed?
Yes. In the Troomi Parent Portal, you can add websites to your child’s Approved Sites or Denied Sites lists, approve YouTube channels and videos, and turn YouTube off completely at any time. Safelist Mode limits browsing to approved sites only.
Can I see what websites my child visits?
Yes. The Troomi Parent Portal shows your child’s browsing activity, including websites visited and time spent browsing, as well as YouTube videos watched.
Does the Troomi Smart Browser block social media?
Social media sites are blocked by default.
Can Troomi Smart Browser settings change as my child grows?
Yes. The Troomi Smart Browser is designed to grow with your child. Settings can be changed at any time in the Troomi Parent Portal, allowing you to adjust browsing modes, content categories, and approved sites to suit their current level of maturity. You can also set time limits and schedules for the browser.
How does the Troomi Parent Portal work?
The Troomi Parent Portal is a control center you can access independently of your child’s Troomi phone. It allows you to set healthy usage limits and time windows, manage contacts, monitor calls and messages, and view the phone’s latest GPS location.
