Screen Time

Apple created Screen Time for iPhone, iPad and Mac, which lets you see how family members are using their devices, and allows you to set restrictions so you can structure the time they spend on their device.

Combine this with the Jamf Parent app, and you will have excellent management tools at your fingertips.

You can set up Screen Time for your child on their iPad in the Settings app or, even better if you’ve set up Family Sharing, you can set up Screen Time for your child's iPad using your iPhone or iPad. This means you can adjust settings anytime from your iPad.

We encourage parents to consider using the 'Downtime' functionality to disable the iPad at night.

Please be aware that setting overall time limits for apps may impact your child's educational use of the iPad at school, so we ask that you don't configure 'App Limits' using Screen Time. Best to do that in the Jamf Parent app.

Read on for information about setting up Screen Time. Remember, it's best to setup Family Sharing first.
