In another situation, if you are a schoolteacher and normally lend your tablet to your students or having kids who really use your device to play different games. So here we’ll tell you how to make restricted profile for Android device.
Android 4.3 brings the multi user profiles, now having a new restricted profile feature. All those apps with the limited profile will not provide the in-app purchase option as well.
