How to Set up Parental Controls on iPhone and iPad?


Enable the Restrictions Feature:

Step 1: Open the device settings.

Step 2: Tap General and then Restrictions.

Step 3: Tap Enable Restrictions.



Step 4: Create a passcode for Restrictions in order to adjust the settings or disable the feature.


Configure the Restrictions:

Allow – Select Apps and Services to Allow

The first section of allowable apps and services is for default apps installed on your device. This includes items like Safari, FaceTime, and the iTunes Store. Just slide the button from green to gray to disable the ones you want to disallow.

You will also notice three settings for allowing the installing and deleting of apps along with in-app purchase ability. So, be sure to disable these as needed.



The Allowed Content area includes eight different categories including movies, TV shows, and websites. Each category has different settings, so you should review each one separately.
