Age Restrictions Top Tips

Setting age restrictions on a tablet or phone is one of the best, simplest and quickest ways to ensure that your child can only access age-appropriate content. You should always apply the restrictions appropriate to their age and lock those restrictions in place before giving a child a new phone or tablet.

Age Restrictions on an iPad or iPhone

  • Go to the general settings of the iPhone or iPad they use.
  • Enable restrictions.
  • Create a PIN so a child cannot bypass the device restrictions.

You can now apply age-appropriate restrictions to films, TV programmes, books, Siri, websites and more.

Your child is now restricted in what they download onto their device.
