How to make your iPad kid-friendly (CNET How To)

From cases to privacy settings and age-appropriate apps, here is how to make your iPad safe for children to use.

This works only when your child is the only user on the iPad. If you disable the restriction for your own use, you will need to re-enable all the specific restrictions when you give the iPad to your child next time. iOS does not remember your restriction settings. There really should be different profiles for adult users and children users.

Thank you for the video! It’s now 2022 and as of 2021’s 9th generation, I still don’t see the ability to have different profiles under one iPad to avoid the inconvenience of enabling/disabling restrictions. They certainly do this to encourage buying two instead of sharing one. That’s the one and only downside I’ve seen thus far.

nothing beats Samsung's Kids Mode

But, enabling restrictions will mess up the screen settings (app arrangement)..so keep that in mind when trying to remove restrictions

Really simple if you just go through your setting anyway on any device. Rules too! It's up to Parents...

With my android ( Samsung) device, it just has a single button which enables kids mode and it'll automatically do all that..and it's disabled only via fingerprint or a code..can't believe with apple you'd have to go to all that..thanks for the video, i searched all the settings on my ipad and couldn't find it

[khalidnayef]

[Lucd]

What if you don't have the second option

Hi I used to have a ipad when I was small and what happens when you forget your code would you have to interact with the old email in the ipad

[Changizkhan]

I have an iPad Pro 9.7. I think this is the best Apple device. Exactly what I need.

[change]

Uhg I don't have restrictions in general .help plz!

[omnymisa]

What a problem it is to try to keep the kids from toxic content on the iPad, it is both parent's fault and Apple's but Apple doesn't help too much when you want to do something about it.

I thought iPads were already KIDS friendly 😂

[katelyn]

[jopansmark]

[Aepek]

If you put the app restrictions on it will be harder for kids to find a game they like. Rather be safe than sorry

How to make your iPad kid-friendly:
1) do not give your child an iPad. Introduce them to the other side of the front and back door. The best videogame there ever was, the outdoors. It's like Minecraft but irl!
