### Kid Safe DeGoogled Phones Using GrapheneOS
Setting up a DeGoogled phone for kids can be done fairly easily now using the latest version of GrapheneOS.
The basic steps are as follows:
1. [DeGoogle a phone with GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org/install/). GrapheneOS's website is the best place to go for instructions on how to DeGoogle a Google Pixel phone. They offer a couple of intallation methods, and keep everything up to date.
2. [Turn on multi-user accounts](https://www.howtogeek.com/333484/how-to-set-up-multiple-user-profiles-on-android/), & create a "kid's" account, naming the account whatever you like.
4. [Install the apps you want onto the "Owner" account, and push those apps to your child's account](https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/2133-question-about-the-install-available-apps-feature-for-user-profiles) under the multi-user setting.
5. [Remove the GrapheneOS web browser "Vanadium"](
) from the kid's account so they can't surf the Internet.quoting nevent1q…lz3q# Remove Vanadium Web Browser for an Individual User
When setting up a kid safe DeGoogled GrapheneOS phone, you don't want them having Internet access, so you will need to remove the system Vanadium web browser from their account.
To do this
1. First Install standalone platform-tools (adb tool) according to the [Graphene OS Install website](https://grapheneos.org/install/cli).
2. Make sure phone is in USB-Debug Mode.
3. Reset the USB debugging authorizations on the phone if the command `adb devices` says `device unauthorized`
4. Start the adb shell with `adb shell` command.
5. List apps installed to get name of default browser app: `pm list packages`
- On GraphenOS it is `app.vanadium.browser`
- On LineageOS it is `org.lineageos.jelly`
6. list the users with `pm list users` and get the user's ID number, which will be the number in front of the User's name.
>For example in the line `UserInfo{10:User1:410}`, the user ID is `10`, and the username is `User1`.
8. Uninstall Vanadium for the user with this command `pm uninstall -k --username 10 app.vanadium.browser` but beware, you can't reinstall, at least until next system update.
9. To install Vanadium use this command `pm install --user 10 app.vanadium.browser` where `app.vanad8um.browser` is app you want to push to user 10.

6. [Install an eSIM](https://grapheneos.org/usage#esim-support) so your kids can't take the physical SIM out and put it into any device they want.
