Hi all this is a request for you to create a new version of this OS, I apologise now if this is posted within the wrong area however I thought being based around security this would be the best place to begin the conversation.
A big issue for many parents with teenage kids is getting them to not use their phones past 9pm. There are now many apps that attempt to curb this usage however, these can always be uninstalled or the device simple reset to factory standards by the kids. What is required is the ability for a parent to, on setting up the phone, be able to save to the cloud the OS preferences for their kids phone. These need to include the ability to shut the phone down at particular times e.g between 9pm - 6am Sun - Thurs. It should have the capability during this time to be able to call certain numbers, such as 911 and the parents numbers in case of emergency. If this info is saved to the cloud then any factory reset won't wipe these controls. I've not been able to find an app that can do this, Device Manager has much of the functionality required, however again is an app that can be bypassed. Apple OS seems to suffer the same issue. If this capability was built into the OS and advertised it would be a massive incentive for parents to purchase Android phones. Is this functionality already being discussed or available ?
