How we can help

Families, kids and parental controls

Kids are clever. Setting sensible limits they can't easily get around starts with the two ways they get online: mobile data and Wi-Fi.

  • Phone plans: who holds the account, giving parents authority over the kids' services, and cheaper prepaid options
  • Apple Screen Time through Family Sharing, including blocking hotspot and eSIM changes
  • App, website and downtime limits, and remembering the Apple TV and smart TVs
  • Home Wi-Fi controls, including pausing the internet for each child
  • Household rules, and simple tools that back them up
  • Finding the gaps kids use to get around limits
  • Co-parenting and blended families across two households
  • Family Sharing's six-person limit, and how to plan around it
