Xiaomi TVs arrived in Spain some time ago and their catalog continues to gain weight with the passage of different presentations. Now in one of the countries where they started, India, Xiaomi has started to introduce various improvements it won’t take long to reach the rest of the planet.
The most important of the last things that reach the TVs of the Chinese firm concerns the new kids mode Added to Patchwall, the custom layer that runs on Android TV, the operating system you’ve adopted for your devices. With this new children’s mode, Xiaomi presents various news related to safety and the content that the little ones in the house see.
Parental lock with PIN code, secure search and more
With the new Kids Mode that Xiaomi integrates into its Patchwall, Android TVs from the Android company have, among other things, the possibility of having Parental control Parents can decide what content or sections of the TV are available to children, including the ability to block specific apps. For example, this Disney + is accessible but not HBO or Netflix. You just have to activate it and set a PIN code that will block access to those who do not know it.
Another feature gained with this child mode is that you get what Xiaomi calls Safe universal search and that this will prevent children from locating content on the Internet that does not suit them, via the browser of their televisions. This feature will also be configured in the aforementioned child mode.
Xiaomi TVs will also receive intelligent content filtering that are seen through the device based on AI algorithms that will automatically block inappropriate ones. In principle, this feature reaches India, but it is not known whether it will also go to the international market.

And with all this, Xiaomi TVs will receive completely free educational content and accessible from them. Again, this feature is starting in India, but it’s not clear if it will reach the rest of the world as well. As we said, the first update is launched in the country of the Ganges and we will not have to wait for Xiaomi to adapt it to the different markets to update Patchwall wherever its models are sold.
