Vodafone and Disney want to make sure they can connect parents and children , whether through voice calls, chat messages or Emojis, always using well-known characters from the fictional factory. However, the part of providing the child with maximum autonomy is not neglected.
For example, we have a front camera so you can capture the best moments of your daily life. We also have an activity monitor that will be key to keeping them active. This is combined with the Smart App so parents have complete control over their digital experience. There they can see their location, their contacts or control the time they can use it.
Among the characters that we have to customize the interface we find some as famous as Minnie Mouse, Elsa, Buzz Lightyear, Darth Vader, the Avengers and the Child (Grogu) from the successful series The Mandalorian of Disney +.
