Our children are growing up with tablets and laptops in hand, quickly mastering any devices, exploring the vastness of the internet, and making online purchases. In such conditions, every parent’s top priority is to shield young users from unwanted content and excessive capabilities. Here\u2019s how to prepare an iPhone for your child and set up parental controls completely free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Need to Buy and Install Additional Software<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need is already inside the smartphone. Your main \u201cmagic wand\u201d is the \u201cScreen Time\u201d feature, which allows you to restrict age-inappropriate content, apps, and capabilities. It also prevents situations where a child makes online purchases without parental knowledge, downloads software, or meddles with settings. You can even check if your child has received (or sent) explicit photos and videos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parental controls are available not only on iPhones but also on iPads and MacBooks. Before starting the main settings, you need to add your child to \u201cFamily Sharing\u201d on your device. To do this, go to \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cFamily Sharing\u201d > tap the \u201c+\u201d in the upper right corner of the screen > \u201cCreate a Child Account.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, follow the on-screen instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the Parent\u2019s iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After adding your child to \u201cFamily Sharing,\u201d you need to configure the program to control your child\u2019s phone on your iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       In the settings of your device, find the \u201cFamily\u201d section [child\u2019s name] and select the screen time option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Choose the child for whom you want to set restrictions, and through \u201cScreen Time,\u201d set the limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: First, update the software on the parent and child devices, and then configure or modify existing settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Child\u2019s iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the settings of the child\u2019s device, select \u201cScreen Time,\u201d tap \u201cTurn On,\u201d and then choose \u201cThis is My Child\u2019s iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Set the device usage time and tap \u201cDowntime\u201d \u2013 a period when all apps are blocked except for the most necessary ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Set \u201cApp Limits\u201d (for all or specific software): define the allowed amount of time. Confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       In the \u201cContent & Privacy Restrictions\u201d section, set restrictions for explicit content and age-inappropriate materials. Proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Create a four-digit parent passcode using the digital keyboard for \u201cScreen Time\u201d and re-enter it to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: If \u201cScreen Time\u201d is turned off, all protective measures will become unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to Restrict Website Access<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS and iPadOS can filter content so that children cannot access adult material through search engines or any other apps. You can also add resources to allowed or blocked lists\u2014all of this can be done with parental controls on the iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: All settings are done on the child\u2019s device. The standard first step for all the points described below will be: select \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cScreen Time\u201d > \u201cContent & Privacy Restrictions\u201d (enter the previously set passcode) \u2013 in the article, this step will be referred to as the starting step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Go to \u201cContent Restrictions for Store, Web, Siri, and Game Center,\u201d where you can configure each item separately or choose \u201cAllowed Store Content\u201d > \u201cWeb Content.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You\u2019ll find three options here: \u201cUnrestricted Access\u201d (everything is allowed), \u201cLimit Adult Websites\u201d (everything is allowed except adult content), or \u201cAllowed Websites Only\u201d (everything is forbidden except for resources chosen by parents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tip: If the child updates to iOS 17 or a newer version, the settings will reset to \u201cLimit Adult Websites.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Block 18+ Content and Explicit Language<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To isolate the child\u2019s device from age-inappropriate information, we need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Complete the starting step and select \u201cContent Restrictions for Store, Web, Siri, and Game Center.\u201d You will see a list of resources for setting up: music, videos, movies, TV shows, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You can adjust each item separately. Select \u201cAllowed Store Content\u201d and configure the sections from the list. For example, in the \u201cMusic, Podcasts, News, Fitness\u201d section, you can filter out explicit content, and in the \u201cMovies,\u201d \u201cTV Shows,\u201d \u201cApps\u201d sections, set age restrictions, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to Prevent Purchases in the App Store<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parental control app will help avoid situations where a child spends large sums on paid games, installs new unknown software\u2014all without permission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Complete the starting step and go to \u201ciTunes & App Store Purchases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Choose the installation or removal of Software purchases and block the necessary ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Restricting Siri\u2019s Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siri can help find what you\u2019re trying to hide, so be sure to limit her options on the phone with parental controls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       After the starting step, go to \u201cContent Restrictions for Store, Web, Siri, and Game Center.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Scroll through the list until you reach Siri, and turn off web search and\/or explicit language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Censoring Games with Game Center Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the same steps as before until you reach \u201cContent Restrictions for Store, Web, Siri, and Game Center.\u201d Find the necessary item in the list and set limits on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Multiplayer games;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Inviting friends and joint games;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Sending messages, screen recording;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Changing avatars, nicknames, profile visibility, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No Changes to Privacy Settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the services that apps often request access to. You can decide which software gets this permission and which does not. Let\u2019s see how to do it in the parental control program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the starting step, in the \u201cPrivacy\u201d section, select the item you intend to configure (\u201cLocation Services,\u201d \u201cContacts,\u201d \u201cMicrophone,\u201d etc.), and then prohibit any changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to Hide Built-in Apps and Functions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to delete apps and features you want to hide from your child. Just make them invisible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Through settings, go to \u201cScreen Time\u201d > \u201cContent & Privacy Restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Activate the passcode request, select allowed apps, and slide the toggles next to the apps that will remain accessible to the child (they will turn green). Everything else will be hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What Else Can Be Restricted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While figuring out how to set up parental controls on an iPhone, note that other things can also be configured:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Passwords and Face ID;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Account settings;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Mobile data usage;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Volume control;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       TV provider;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 App background activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the starting step is completed, go to the \u201cAllow Changes\u201d section and choose the settings or features you want to restrict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
