About Restricted Profile
You can restrict the use of certain apps by switching

cannot…
• Find or open apps which are marked as Not allowed
• Access the Google Play Store
• Purchase through Google Play Movies & TV, nor
Google Play Games
• Use third-party apps that don't use the Google sign-
in

Google Play Movies & TV
• Play games already purchased and installed from

Manage Apps
If you stop an app and return to the Home menu, the
app is not really stopped. The app is still running in
the background to be readily available when you start
it again. To run fluently, most apps need to save some
data in the cache memory of the TV. It might be good
to stop an app completely or clear the cache data of
a particular app to optimise the overall performance
of apps and to keep memory usage low on your
Android TV. Also, it is best to uninstall apps that you
are not using anymore.
