My daughter’s new phone (Gabb pro 4) has a Knox Browser… can someone please explain what she can do with this?? Thanks!!

Hey @khamm0781 ,

Good question. Some of our devices (like the Gabb Phone 3 Pro/4 Pro), use Knox as part of the technology we currently utilize to help keep these phones safe. It allows us to provide a phone that permits parents to control what apps are enabled on the phone while not having to worry about web browsers, social media, or other non-parent-approved apps being on the device.

The Knox browser is locked down and will not allow your daughter to browse in any way. It's on there due to Knox being a security management framework that is built into the devices, but it will not allow her access to the web.

P.S. - if you're curios on how to manage 3rd party apps on the Gabb Phone 4 Pro, make sure you're on an Advanced plan by logging into your account at gabb.com/account on a computer, selecting Dashboard, and clicking Manage Plan on the device. From there, you can enable (and disable) apps from your account by clicking on the Gabb App Store. Once enabled by the parent, the child can then download the app from the Play Store app on their device.

Please note - 3rd party apps are only available for our Pro model phones on an Advanced plan.

Best,

-Gabb Product Team

Hello @Cara,

Our Gabb Phones do not and will not have access to the internet, social media or apps that can access the internet. Our number one goal is to provide parents and kids with the right tech for their situation. Safety is the number one priority!
