Why can't I take SafeSearch off?

Answer.

Your device has a setting that requires a pin code before the device is turned on. This setting is very important, because the user may have forgotten the pin number when it is time to take your device out of sleep mode. If your device is a camera, this setting prevents you from setting up automatic photos or videos when your device wakes from sleep mode.

SafeSearch can be turned off only if you use Windows with a PIN number, or if you set up the device to require a PIN number to turn on or access certain features. You will need to contact your phone service provider for instructions on turning off SafeSearch.

If you're using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can disable SafeSearch in the Settings app. On Android, you can go to the Security and Safety app, and choose "Screen Rotation" to disable the screen rotation setting.

Why does the camera lens not open when I wake the device? On a Windows phone or tablet, you can disable SafeSearch in the Settings app. On an iPhone or iPad, you can go to the Security and Safety app, and choose "Screen Rotation" to disable the screen rotation setting. On Android, you can go to the Screen Rotation app, and choose "Use Camera" to disable the screen rotation setting.
