Parental Controls
Every parent wants to keep their children safe, including when they are using technology. There are several ways to keep your children from exploring websites or apps that you may not want them venturing to. Learn how to set parental controls on both iOS and Android devices.
iOS Devices
You can enable Restrictions, parental controls, on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Guided Access: an accessibility feature, allows you to restrict a child from only using one app.
Backup your device prior to enabling restrictions or enabling Guided Access. If you enable restrictions or guided access and forget your password, you will need to restore your device from the latest backup.
Android Devices
You can use parental controls to restrict the content you can download or purchase from Google Play on your device. Set up parental controls on Google Play
