How to Turn On iPad Restrictions
Parental controls allow you to regulate what is available on the iPad. First, you need to set a parental controls passcode and turn on Content and Privacy Restrictions.
iPad Parental Control Settings
After you create a passcode, tailor the restrictions to your child’s age and what areas of the iPad you want them to access. This includes selecting the type of movies (G, PG, or PG-13) and music available to the child, and limiting the device to certain websites. Here are some of the settings and what they do:
iTunes & App Store Purchases prevents people without the passcode from installing or deleting apps or making in-app purchases. Allowed apps permits or blocks access to programs. Restricted apps don’t appear on the Home screen. Content Restrictions sets limits on the types of media others can play on the iPad. For example, block R-rated movies and TV shows with a TV-MA rating, podcasts with an Explicit rating, and web content. It’s also possible to block books, music, and movies.
The items in the Privacy section modify how the iPad behaves and what features are allowed. For example, in the Photos section, restrict access to Photos or disable the ability to share photos on social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. The items in the Allow Changes section set limits to sections of the iPad settings, for example, setting a passcode, the volume control, and changes to the Apple ID account linked to the device.
Other Screen Time Settings
The main Screen Time menu has a few more restriction options:
Downtime locks the device between specific hours of the day that you set.App Limits sets timers on how long you and your family can use certain apps each day.Always Allowed bypasses these two settings for certain programs you want to access during Downtime, for example, Messages.
