iOS parental controls allow you to enable, limit or disable certain features, and control the activities, purchases, and communications of children for whom you are responsible. In addition, with iOS 15 or later, iPhone and iPad warn before showing inappropriate photos received by message, as well as there is an option for apps limitation. So, in this guide, we will tell you how to set limits on apps and messaging for your child on iPhone in detail below.
With Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time, you can block or restrict certain apps and features on your child’s device. You can also limit the settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch related to explicit content, privacy, purchases, and downloads.
