If you’re looking to set up child locks or parental controls on your iPhone 15 Pro Max, there are a few features you can utilize:
1. Guided Access:
Guided Access is an effective child lock feature for iPhones and iPads. It allows you to restrict access to specific apps and features, ensuring that your little ones stay within the desired app.
With guided access, you can:
Lock your iPhone or iPad into a single app (e.g., Netflix) so that kids can’t access other areas of the device.
Disable hardware buttons (like the home button) and touchscreen interactions to prevent accidental navigation.
Set a timer to manage screen time.
Customize which parts of the screen your child can interact with.
To enable guided access:
1. Open **Settings**.
2. Tap on “Accessibility.
3. Scroll down to “Guided Access” within the “General” section.
4. Toggle guided access on.
5. Open the app you want to enable guided access for (e.g., Netflix).
6. Triple-press the side button (or **Action Button** on the left for the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max) to start guided access.
7. Customize settings according to your preferences⁵.
2. Content & Privacy Restrictions:
You can set up restrictions to prevent explicit content, control app installations, and manage screen time.
To set content & privacy restrictions:
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Turn on “Content & Privacy Restrictions.
3. Choose a passcode different from your device’s unlock passcode.
4. Customize settings such as preventing iTunes & App Store purchases, restricting web content, and more⁴.
Remember that these features help you create a safe and controlled environment for your child while using your iPhone 15 Pro Max.
