You bought your child a new iPhone, or a hand-me-down and you got the warm and fuzzies seeing your child’s big smile. 5 minutes pass and you then get a sick feeling in your stomach. Will your shared data plan cost hundreds now? Is your kid safe?
There 3 must-have iPhone service parental controls you must set up now for your child. Here they are:
- Set up Family Sharing. You’ll be able to approve all app downloads and purchases with the Ask to Buy feature.
- Set up Restrictions. Disable the Safari browser from loading adult content sites. You can assume the full commander position by disabling the ability to install and delete apps. Up to you how far you want to go.
- Disable cellular usage for Internet-hungry apps. Netflix, Apple Music, and Whatsapp are a few Internet-chuggers. Disable cellular data usage for those apps in Restrictions.
Look, I’m all for letting our kids explore and learn from their mistakes. However, as parents, we need to ensure they don’t go burning through our money. More importantly, we need to protect them from evil-minded adults out there who are up to no good.
