3. Tap on the home button (centre circle icon on bottom) to go to stock launcher. Then from stock launcher start device settings app. If Kids Place blocks this action, first temporarily add settings app as approved app in Kids Place and then tap on the device settings app from kids place home screen.

4. Tap on “Apps and Notification” and on below screen, and you will get to screen below:

5. Tap on “Default App” and then select “Kids Place”. You will see a message as shown below:

6. Select “Change” and it will change Kids Place as the default launcher and lock home button to Kids Place.
