can i set different restrictions (screen time, etc) for their apple watch than for their iPad?
Thank you. This was very helpful. Very well explained.
Very helpful. I set this up, but my child is using my old phone with only an Apple ID and not a phone number. I can text and facetime between iphones, but it doesn't seem to notify me in any way for app install approvals. Not sure if that is because there is no phone number??
Thanks for this put on the path to make this happen somethings mentioned don't apply now or to old phones!
Hi, will raise work for a MacBook?
How to add a second parent to be able also control my child account..?
Any recommendations or thoughts on adding Apple Configurator to the process? I’ve been looking into it but a lot of the guides are obviously centered around management from a business or school environment. Overkill or maybe worth it?
Do you have any videos on tips/weaknesses of setting up an apple watch as a child's only phone? I'm searching for a solution for my 12 year old, don't want any browsers, social media, or Wi-Fi hotspot abilities. Right now I'm leaning towards a Sunbeam F1 feature phone but it doesn't seam to have gps tracking abilities for the parent. I have a series 6 (cellular) apple watch I could repurpose if it is a decent solution. My kid is clever about getting around parental (and even chromebook school IT) controls.
Thank you for this! was wondering if there is a way to disable camera (i don't mean the camera app), basically access to camera from any app. is this possible? how?
You can put on a screen time limit on the app permanently
Thank you for your tell me how screen time work, but I just want to know how to use my phone see my son screen time, I already done family sharing but I don’t see his screen time. I don’t know I missing something.
Same! I’m not sure why it’s not working
Can you make a video how to setup parental controls on an iPhone using an android or personal iPad without a parental iphone??
As a prent I have an android phone and my son has an iphone. Currently I use google family link for my othe 2 kids' android devices. Can I connect family link to my sons iphone?
Hey, if you set a time for all apps. Does it give them that time individually for each app or does is it shared over the apps?
Each app have time individual
Hi Family Tech, thanks for this video!
I've just set up my 8 year old child to the parental control system and set up the app approval option. This works well with any app that is suitable for her age but with apps that are for older kids, like 12 year old, she can't even ask for permission, the app is automatically blocked, is there any way to overrule this restriction?
Only way is by increasing the child age in the device. Hope that helps.
I don’t have the plus option after I get into family sharing for some reason.
Can I parental control all these options from a macbook pro since is the only ios i have and both parents have android?
Hi..I setup parental control on my teenager's phone. He has his own apple id and I put downtime at 10pm -7am. For the allowed apps, I added mine and my hubby's contact from my contacts list.
But when we check his messages, it shows both of ours messages locked as well. Could you tell me whats wrong?
Can you setup so that they can only watch certain things on TH-cam? Thanks
I dont know how old this video is but I am not getting screen time option not very clear to see where this might be either. Did the second part of your video because hes over 13 so when I tap on his name I got : Apple ID below that. subscriptions , Purchases, Location sharing and that it but no screen time or any other selections etc
I have tried all of the above and nothing seems to stop TH-cam and what’s app even though I have set specific time limits the apps do not stop working when the time limit is up. I have noticed that I’m not the only one who has this problem.
Thanks it help it was easy , it goes straight to my phone to approve 😊apps
Curious if there is any other reason you don't suggest having an android phone when your child has an iPhone? I do all the screen time settings from their device and it seems to work great. Plus, I don't get notifications from the kids about time limit extensions and app requests ever!
What about if I have the iphone but they just have an apple watch with their own phone number and an ipad?
What if I don’t have that blue thing in the corner? On a family plan with roommates but weirdness seems to occur on my phone
Does the phone carrier company have to be the same or is it just iphone to iphone
Please lmk
Mahalo
I've set this up and now my own iphone has restrictions on texts. When I get a text it has the hourglass and it says "not in your contacts" even though they are .. it allows me to "add the contact" to view the text on my phone but how do i turn this off on my parental phone?
This was amazing. Thank you. For the child under 13 account is there a way to make it so they have to ask permission before they download any new apps?
Yes you can I have my child phone set up to he has to ask for permission to download apps
@@deyontaolley7445 thanks hun
@@deyontaolley7445how
When you mirror your child on the phone that is hooked up to only Wi-Fi can you do any changes on their phone with that phone
This video was super helpful! I’m having an issue downloading apps on the child’s iPhone though. When I click “get” it just continues to load/spin. I turned off the control for getting new apps to see if that was the problem. This is a brand new iPhone 14. Do you know what the issue may be? No matter what app I try to get her, it just keeps loading and never works. The phone is connected to WiFi and she has plenty of storage left.
It sucks. I may just return the phone. I read in several places that the child features on iPhone are glitchy. So frustrating when you’re gifting a kid a phone and then nothing works.
Hey, so I switched from the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max, and now the Family Share notifications aren't showing up on my iPhone anymore. They're all going to the Messages app on my MacBook instead. I'd like to get them back on my iPhone, but I couldn't find any settings for that. Any ideas?
Awesome!!! Great video.
So when I’m setting this all up for my daughter and it’s asking me to make the “teen password.” Is that a password for me to know only? Or is that a password both my daughter and I should know?
This was very helpful. I have not bought the kid one yet but this makes it easier. Good information. Thanks.
Thank you! This was super helpful!
im tryna figure out how to turn OFF family sharing
How do I add the iPad? I have phone attached but the iPad isn’t? It has the same Apple ID
Thank you ☺️
Is it possible to link an android to an iPad with Google family link?
Is the child password and code created using the parent phone or on the child phone?
Can you limit an iPad's usage based on a time period instead of a set schedule? For example, can I limit an iPad to only be used for a few hours per day at any given point in that day or am I limited to specific scheduling?
Yes you can do this
@@RyanTheJenkshow can you do this? Concerned parent here.
Can these parental settings also be used a an existing iPhone? Your video shows setting up the iPhone for a new user. Can you invite the child and have an existing iPhone setup? Thanks in advance Paul K
Yes absolutely can. But you need to sign in a new apple ID (that is referring to your child) on that iphone. They must be under 16y/o for you to control their phone
you are the reason i have screen time limit
Thank you for such a well explained video. Can both parents be guardians. I have been googling this and can’t get a straight answer.
Bro wants to stalk their own child 💀
@@Mattyl264 yeah 💀
Thank you , set up 2 phones by this
is there a way to just limit total time for the phone? I know how to limit the time frame and individual apps but maybe I just want to say "sure you can use the phone for 1 hour between 4 and 9 pm".
Did you figure that out ?
Great! thank you.
Thank you
Need to know if you can send an alert since these damn kids leave the phone on silent. I didn't see that covered. That's very important to me.
Thank you for this super helpful video walk-through. Switching from Android to iPhone and everything is new.
My kid moved from android to apple. Screentime is garbage compared to android family
@@nadirnazim9342 oh interesting. I spent 10+ yrs using Family Link and I find iPhone screen time way easier to manage my teen’s devices, once I figured it all out. We both love it. Specially the features of asking for more time on an app and the ability to communicate all around after downtime with the contacts I select.
I'm seeing other videos that don't talk about the pairing with the parent and child phone, they just do the settings directly in the child's phone, under the screen time setting, with a screen time passcode. What's the difference between doing it that way vs doing it paired with the parent phone? I don't have an iPhone.
You don’t need a different iphone. Your internet provider can show you search history even after it’s been deleted. All messages, even deleted ones, are available upon request from phone provider. Snapchat and TikTok will provide you with complete logs of who your child has been in contact with, messages, and every video they view. If they’re very young I’d check this without their knowledge. If they’re later teens I’d let them know you could find this all out if you wanted to but give some privacy
Si from 13 until 18 they can get all their data? And no more restriction?
No, you just have to invite them using the second method.
Does the downtime automatically allow calls and texts?
Does these settings also apply to a MacBook or only an iOS device?
I have done all the set ups and read so many how to guides but I can not control the parental controls for my daughter's phone at all. I can only do controls on her phone and it's so frustrating. She is 12, and I set up her account correctly as a child under 13 when I set it up last year.
Have you go in family share to add her in, or set her as daughter.
with screen time, when its blocked. can the phone be used for phone calls and texts?
You set which apps work when blocked. You can designate those if you want to
I think you’ve read my mind. Exactly the information I need. Thank you. ❤
So i did this with my child, but on their screentime on their phone, they still have the option to "turn off screen time family sharing" which negates the whole system. Any solutions to that?
Very helpful!
I have shared this video with the parents in my county.
Great video I surprised you don’t have more likes.
What happens if I have parental controls on my sons phone, but then he turns 18? Will I still he still have the restrictions I have in place?
Thank you, I did not know I could set up an Apple ID for a child under 13. I just used my information. Will change asap.
Yes!!!! Thank you!
I have to use my Apple ID or I have to make a new one for my child?(she’s under 13😉)
Excellent video, very complete.. ty
My tablet gets stuck at restrictions!
Is there any way that you can turn on the GPS for the child and they won’t be able to turn it off?
Unfortunately this is not a feature that Apple has allowed you to control.
That cool but can it be done ifbthe parent has an android?
I don’t get the option to set up a child only myself . Why is that ??
I might be crazy but i suspect my roommate is reading my text messages and monitoring me. She does have parental control on her kids devices. She gave me a brand new iphone as a gift. Is there anyway i can tell if theres a monitoring app installed on my phone?
My sister told me one of her daughters games is displaying inappropriate ads on a game rated four years old plus. Is there a way to block these inappropriate ads on a game intended for children?
Those suggestive ads are the worst. There’s nothing you can do with those unfortunately. Look for ad free games for you child to play instead. An Apple Arcade subscription is better
Are both parents able to monitor and control children’s iPhones or just the parent who created the family share?
Either parent can do most things but only the “family organizer” can invite existing Apple accounts (and currently there can be only one organizer).
Hello! I need some help. I have a Motorola (android) and I AM not converting to an iphone just to be able to control my kid's iphone. CAN you please let me know if there are FREE apps that can give me full control of their iphone? I already set up the parental settings on the iphone BUT I used to use Family Link to have control when my child had an android and it was SO much easier to navigate. It's not so easy anymore.
Unfortunately, there is nothing available with those features for free. Even the paid ones are not great for an android device to manage an iPhone.
Thank you for this. We just bought iPads for our 7 yr old and 2 yr old. This video was very helpful in setting up their devices.
2 year old shouldn't be using iPad for sure.
I tried to do this for my 15 year old but now it’s tell me on my iPhone I can’t contact people not on my contacts I’m so confused
Hi, there was a setting that I could select that prevented them from deleting text messages.
Now I cannot find it. Can you help?
All messages, even deleted ones, are available upon request from phone provider. Snapchat and TikTok will provide you with complete logs of who your child has been in contact with, messages, and every video they view. That’s a bonus bc it lets them think you are giving them more freedom but you can really monitor and keep them safe. If they are older teens I would tell them you can see everything they text if you wanted to but also let them know you will give privacy if respect you with messaging. Snapchat is the biggest danger to your children especially if they are tweens
On the question of 13 (under or over), when I set this up..
My kid is 12 and will be 13 later this year.
I’ll set up the under 13 way. But can I change the method later easily?
Or maybe it will automatically flip it later?
Do you know how to stop the kid using personal hotspot? I disabled her from changing cell carrier settings under content and restriction but she is still able to open the personal hotspot to use data.
Contact your carrier they can turn off that setting from their phone
Wondering why my over 13's screen time doen't come up in the family sharing section - any tips ??
They are turning it off without your knowledge most likely
Its the parents who don’t know the child is 100x ahead of them 😂
100% of the 3rd party monitoring apps / services are totally compromised by the child installing a FREE VPN app.
Lol😂😂
Exactly bro
Relatable😂
When you look up this video bc ur mom keep trying to put parental controls
I setup parent control years ago when my daughter was about 8 she found away to somehow change her Apple ID and password and used any app and all the screen time she wanted, this control system is not as controllable as we think parents.
You don't need an iPhone to iPhone. It can be easier. But you can get a plan through your cell provider and works the same.
How do I add my child’s phone to my send and receive so I can see their texting activity/content on my phone?
I would not do this. They would also see your messages. And you can't login to one phone with 2 apple IDs
If you don’t want it done to yourself don’t do it to your child
Where did you get your glasses? I love those!
Wow, she is really pretty
I set up app limits but none of the settings took. The child can use everything and infinitum which is contrary to the app limit settings I created. Why is this the case?
Same for me. There are countless videos on how to override parental controls and lots of children override them.
Any block YT kids since last update
It says age 12 on mine..
Screen time hacking happening now a days, kids are super smart and screen time its not working. Please tell us how to stop screen time hacking?
You take the phone away 😆🤷♀️
What about the child's device, is it going to be shown to them that they are included in family sharing and do they get the notification on their device also?
Lot's of children are overriding these parental controls. There are lots of videos on how to do it on the net. I set up family sharing for my daughter yesterday and she has overriden them. Are you able to help reverse this problem at all?
Yup! First your going to ask to see her phone. Then you place that phone in a microwave for 30 seconds. Next, after she’s done screaming, you hand her an old school, no data, flip phone. Warn her that disobedient children get downgraded tech until they’re mature enough to handle fancy tech.
When she asks “what about my iPhone!? It’s cooked!”
You say “Ohhh that was my phone, that I bought and let you borrow it. I decided to nuke that phone. If you want a new one, I hear ebay has low prices on refurbished models. Good luck.”
She wont turn off anything ever again.
Btw Im a Dad of 3 kids, 2 decades of coaching sports, I substitute teach at private schools and I’m a religious ed teacher as well. I make it a point to know more about technology than my kids however if you can’t TRUST them to operate the phone or car or whatever you give them then they’re too immature and it’s time to show them what not having said item feels like. I prefer not taking stuff away… thats too easy. I prefer giving them a downgrade which aggravates them more lol. 😎
Your internet provider can show you search history even after it’s been deleted. All messages, even deleted ones, are available upon request from phone provider.

If they’re later teens I’d let them know you could find this all out if you wanted to but give some privacy. Snapchat is the biggest danger to your children especially if they are tweens. Them just knowing this will do far more for you than any of these paternal controls they can get around could do.
As a teen myself who loves cybersecurity this is kinda funny. For screen time there is actually a device management profile that turns off the screen time through a cool bug in iOS. Also, the kids can just jailbreak the device through side loading. I used chimera jailbreak a couple years ago. Also did you just leak your number and Apple ID?
What’s the bug to turn it off lmao
@@zayaboy13 lmfao wouldn’t you like to know ;)
@@Robotic24 Them and I would absolutely love to know 😭
@zayaboy13 Lemme know when you find out!!!!
If my kid can figure this out. I’ll gladly allow them to hack their way out of it 😂
Does apple parental controls allow me to read my child's communication logs?
Ew
That’s sad
My son keeps turning off his find my iPhone. If there any way we can disable that so he can’t turn it off and we can still see where he is at? He is 10 and his friend showed him how to do it.
Your internet provider can show you search history even after it’s been deleted. All messages, even deleted ones, are available upon request from phone provider. Snapchat and TikTok will provide you with complete logs of who your child has been in contact with, messages, and every video they view. For a 10 year old, monitor all of this without them knowing. If they are on snapchat or TikTok get them off immediately. The amount of explicit content on TikTok is unbelievable and snapchat could expose your child to predators and could even expose their location to random people if they have that setting on.
Unfortunately not. I’m 17 and my parents still track my location and all I have to do is turn off my phone all the way or just turn it off through the app.
I entered the wrong year on the DOB for my child's apple id. How do I fix this?
You have to create a new apple ID or contact Apple support to change it.
@@FamilyTechI’m 13 and just got a phone and my parents set my age to 11 on accident so your saying there is no way to change it?
But now they have a solution. They change the day and date and get additional hours. What is the solution?!
Damn now i know why i cant clear my history or go on private…
You cannot control this on a different device through family sharing. Only through the specified phone. Can you clarify more in this? Thank you
Does anyone know what missing screen time means or what those grey bars are?
They are turning it off without you knowing or there is a problem with how you set it up. Your internet provider can show you search history even after it’s been deleted. All messages, even deleted ones, are available upon request from phone provider. Snapchat and TikTok will provide you with complete logs of who your child has been in contact with, messages, and every video they view. If they’re very young I’d check this without their knowledge. If they’re later teens I’d let them know you could find this all out if you wanted to but give some privacy. Snapchat is the biggest danger to teens. So many are exposed to explicit content from random people on there. They may even try and get your child to turn on their location on there.
I need some help please! I set up for 2,
14 year old and I can’t figure out how to stop sharing are Apple ID, it says they can use there own
but I can’t get it to work either they are having to ask for permission or they can’t add there card
Sorry. I'm not sure I'm understanding your setup. Your kids each have their own devices and their own apple ID signed into each of those devices? Your Apple ID should not be on their device.
@@FamilyTech o ok that might be where I messed up !! Now I’m gonna figure out how to fix this ! Lol thank you you
My Apple ID is not on there phones but it does show up , they each use there own visa prepaid, debit cards on their accounts I need to figure out how they can still use those. I hope all this is making sense.
If I ever see u in public it’s on sight I only had one minute to watch this anyway
