How to Unlock Google SafeSearch in Android

  • Unlock your Android phone and search for Google from your search panel or by scrolling.
  • On the right corner of your screen you’ll see your Google picture or Profile picture, click on it and choose Settings.
  • Go to Hide Explicit Results and turn off the setting.

How to Unlock SafeSearch in Apple
