    I was wondering, if there was an application that would give family control, considering my family are all BlackBerry device users.

    My son uses the BB PlayBook which carry's my ID.
    He can always enter (through curiosity) BB APPWORLD, and able to get to my applications.

    Wouldn't it be wise to have a partition within BB APPWORLD and there devices with an additional feature for hiding files, folders and applications.

    Do we have such control?

    Any directions concerning this will be greatly appreciated.

    My Very Best Regards
    JTV

    This is not available unfortunately, I agree it would be useful but as the PlayBook is discontinued it's unlikely BlackBerry will do it.

    I think there is a Parental Control in appworld.

    Dear F2

    Yes, there is a parental control access but no partition between phone and PlayBook, something I expected considering there was many applications and directives to make links between devices.

    Partitioning would be important.
    I could add/delete applications on the PlayBook, see my phone details and versa visa but still be able to control them as separate entities, also having the power to hide features in one from the other.
    There are many things I need as an adult and being my phone is a toolbox compared to my son's phone which is a toybox.

    Thanks for that info, I truly did not know this was taking place.
    That is such a pity.

    I am hoping that updates will still come for its OS

    No problem. You'll lose access to paid apps, but in your situation it sounds like the best thing to do is set your son up his own BBID on the PlayBook.

    That sounds about right, but how will I go about that considering his only 8 with no bank account, as for some reason am thinking that these are all connected

    Set up a second BBID with your own information lol. And it's never too early for him to start investing
