Parental controls, set up properly

Find the setting.
Get it sorted.

Pick your broadband, phone or game and follow along. Every guide shows exactly where the setting is, and when we last checked it.

Why the steps are worth following

Menus change all the time. So every guide says exactly what it was checked on, and when.

01 · Dated

Checked, and you can see when

Each guide shows the version it was checked against and the date, near the top.

02 · Exact

The full menu path

You will see where to tap, likeSettings›Screen Time, so you can find it on your own device.

03 · Calm

Plain, and in the right order

No scare tactics. Just the steps in plain English, and a way to check it worked.

A word before you start

Settings are only half of it

Parental controls are a safety net, not a substitute for talking. They work best alongside open conversations with your children, and clear boundaries and family rules that you set together, so they understand the why and have a say.
