Nokia’s parent company, HMD, is creating a new phone for kids that has internet, but no social media. 📲
The phone will help parents keep track of their children with features such as a locator and messaging. Surveys show many parents regret giving their kids smartphones due to the negative effects. HMD says it is working to include useful apps like education tools and maps, while limiting unnecessary distractions to keep kids safe and focused.
