Safe Search is a Google tool that allows you to filter explicit content in your results so that you or the people who use your mobile do not show certain content that you do not want to appear. It is perfect if you want to leave the mobile to the children or even if you want Google to filter the information so that certain pages stop appearing in your searches, especially when you notice that your phone fills up with them when you make certain queries in the search engine.
