If you want to let your children play with your iPhone or iPad unsupervised, you should activate the parental control for the devices. We’ll show you how to activate and set it up.
Enable parental controls for iPhone/iPad
On iOS devices, you can find the parental controls under the “Screen time” item.
– Open the settings on your iPhone or iPad and tap on “Screen time”.
– Then scroll down and select the item “Use screen time code”.
– Now you can set a code to restrict apps and purchases. Only by entering the correct code can the restrictions then be bypassed.
– Now you have activated the parental controls. If you leave the settings at a later time, you will need the code to enter them again.
Set restrictions on iPhone/iPad
Once you have entered the code, you can now set the exact restrictions. You can do this in the “Restrictions” item.
– Tap on this item and activate the option by sliding the slider to the right.
– You can then restrict many different things.

– By tapping on “Content Restrictions”, you can hide and block adult content.
Control privacy on the iPhone/iPad
