As a parent, you want to make sure your children are safe while using their iPhone or iPad. Apple provides a range of parental controls that can help you manage your child’s device usage and restrict access to explicit content. Here are some ways you can use these controls to keep your child safe:

  1. Set up Screen Time: Screen Time is a feature on Apple devices that allows you to monitor and manage your child’s device usage. You can set limits on screen time, block certain apps or websites, and even schedule downtime for when your child should not be using the device. To set up Screen Time, go to Settings > Screen Time > Turn On Screen Time.
  2. Content & Privacy Restrictions: This feature allows you to control what your child can access on their device. You can block explicit content, prevent access to certain apps, and restrict the use of features like Siri and AirDrop. To set up Content & Privacy Restrictions, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  3. Block In-App Purchases: In-App Purchases can be a major source of expenses for parents. You can block In-App Purchases by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-App Purchases.
  4. Set up Family Sharing: Family Sharing allows you to share apps, music, and other purchases with your family members. You can also set up Ask to Buy, which requires your approval for your child to make purchases. To set up Family Sharing, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Set Up Family Sharing.
  5. Find My: Find My is a feature that allows you to locate your child’s device in case it gets lost or stolen. You can also use it to set up location sharing so that you know where your child is at all times. To set up Find My, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Find My.

Using these parental controls can help you keep your child safe while they use their iPhone or iPad. It is important to talk to your child about the restrictions you are putting in place and explain why you are doing so. With open communication and the right settings, you can create a safe and controlled digital environment for your child.
