This government-run app is scheduled to be launched in March 2025 and will further strengthen parents' management of their children's mobile devices.

Greek Minister of Digital Governance Dimitris Papastjiu said the "Children's Wallet" app is designed to protect teenagers under the age of 15 from excessive Internet use and bad content.The new application will be run on a mature government digital service platform and combined with existing adult identity verification mobile applications.

"This is a major change," Papastjiu told reporters.He pointed out that the application will use advanced algorithms to monitor usage and be equipped with a strict authentication mechanism.Children's wallet will undertake two key tasks: simplify parental control functions and serve as a national user age verification tool."

Papastjiu also revealed that the government plans to pre-install the child protection app on smartphones sold in the Greek market by the end of 2025.

It is reported that this plan also includes launching a special website to help parents understand existing monitoring functions so as to better ensure their children's network security.

The intervention of this child cyber protection measure will exceed the current regulations in other European countries, introducing a more direct government management model.Papastjiu said the key to the problem is how to define and confirm the age of the user."When conducting online age verification, you may encounter 14-year-olds who are lying about being 18 or encountering adults who are truly 20 years old. Now we can effectively deal with these problems."
