How to set up Parental Controls on your iPhone / iPad

[@tinam4353]

Would love a video on setting up family group on iphone and how to do the shared apps

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Which shared apps? I love the idea!

[@tinam4353]

@@ShepherdAtHome I think through the Family Sharing setting you are supposed to be able to share purchased apps but I haven’t figured it out yet. For instance we purchased the Brainly app for math but not sure how to have it shared on my child’s phone/apple id. Thanks for considering this idea!

[@ShepherdAtHome]

@@tinam4353 in the App Store, click the profile photo at the top. Then click “purchased”.

[@jj1726]

Thanks for walking thru the settings. Disagree that families are more broken than ever. Teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol introduction and abuse have all dropped since the 80's and early 90's. However what we are guilty of is parental engagement. Simply spending time and being present without judgement is where we can improve. Finance, feelings and how to move forward after errors and choices that don't produce a desired outcome is key. Divorce is up because communication is become redundantly transactional and we have dismissed personal growth for short term wins. All can be solved sans the damning with hypercritically claiming we're doomed more than ever. Fear is not worthy.

My question is, will my ICloud account with its information overlap with my son's account on his iPad? Pls any help..

[@ShepherdAtHome]

No. Not if you have it set up correctly. He can have his own iCloud password on his device. And you have yours on your device. You’ll need to add his as your child under the “family” settings. Then, you’ll control his screen time on your phone.

[@sarahkrajewskiwebb91]

Your information was so thorough. My husband and I have been watching several videos and yours was the best! Thank you so much and we totally agree that we need to strengthen our families! Keep up the good work!

You are the best thanks for sharing

[@Dia_Hunny_Boo]

So I’ve done this but I’m noticing the controls don’t stay set. How can I fix this?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Change your passcode. The kids may have gotten it. Happened to me once, then we had a conversation about honesty

Extreme newb here...how do i add my child's iphone to my settings?

[@bellixeddu]

Great video, is it possible setting a 2 hours usage per day? I mean without setting a downtime, just two hours within the whole day

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Yes. Set an “app limit” for all of the apps. That will shut it down after the desired amount of time. You can also add certain apps like FaceTime, messaging, or learning apps to “always allowed” if you want them to always have access to certain things.

[@nickhudson4989]

@@ShepherdAtHome Thanks for the info

[@israellewis777]

911 Question: what's to stop them from creating a new Google account? And also how do I fix an iCloud account?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

The bottom line is that as parents we can’t restrict them to complete morality. Kids will find a way around whatever we put in place if they really want to. It’s our job to just keep them from having immediate access & do what we can to guard them. Most importantly, I believe it’s important to address and lean into their heart. Why are they going behind our backs? Why are they lying? Teach them the importance of being truth tellers… etc. I’m not sure what you mean by “fix an iCloud account”. But I often suggest calling Apple with all iCloud questions. They are very helpful. I love the conversation!!! Please keep leaning in and giving it your best effort. If you’re engaging your kid with any of this, you’re already miles down the road to a stronger family. (Even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes)

Hay bud! Can you help with Accepting the app request? I’ve done everything else apart from figured that bit out, So they send the app on there device to my device! But I can’t find the request on my device?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

It should show up in your Notification Center. OR… check settings > screen time > then click their name. You might see it there. Sometimes it’s time sensitive and goes away. Have them do the request again. It should kind of come up as a text.

[@kirtisfennell3016]

Thanks for your speedy reply I thought it would my self having experience with other software but it’s just Not arriving to my phone 🤨 an I also have no clue where to look for the option for anything specific to this issue

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Maybe someone else is set up as the “parent”. Go to Settings > Family… click the child’s name. See if it’s checked that the have to “Ask to Buy”… if that’s not checked, then there is no request. If it IS checked, then look at who the “parent” is… maybe it’s going to a different parent or maybe you’re not logged in with the same Apple ID that is registered to you as the “parent”. Let me know if that helps at all.

[@kirtisfennell3016]

@Shepherd At Home hay man sorry I forgot to reply, So your advice was what I thought the problem at first as I have two, so I reset the phone as nothing to lose, an realised it needed updating to the latest iOS am I just sorted it self out after a couple days

[@desireemiller1686]

Thank you this help so much !! Single mommy just trying to raise my little ones on the right path of life

[@TheMursk]

My only advice to you facebook moms is to put that screen time restriction on yourself too. Be the role model.

[@jimbogle1422]

Can I give 2 million thumbs up? I am rarely on FB but LOTS of other "stuff" going to fix this!

[@autumnsapples6]

Can kids disable screen time?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Not unless they have the passcode.

[@arunnagarajan5814]

thanks for ur video

[@selmaracha7606]

Thank you for your help

[@nicoleenck4864]

How do you track if they are deleting their text messages? Is there a way to see them somewhere else or keep them from deleting all together?

[@hiruthailu7354]

You right

[@abdinoorhassan9350]

Thanks this is grt video

[@anasofiachavez1496]

Can this be done on an iPhone 11?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Yes. You need at least iOS 12 or later. I looked and it looks like iOS 12 can be used on an iPhone 5s and later. Check you iOS (operating software) by going to SETTINGS > GENERAL > SOFTWARE UPDATE. That will tell you if you need to update it or not and what your current iOS is. Good luck! Please let me know if you have other questions!!

[@Torbtastic]

Thank you!

How can I see my child’s text messages and phone call on our iPhone

[@frsmoopus2864]

Great channel / content. Appreciate your witness.

[@pameladaniels7588]

I put it on my son phone and he just reset his phone and the parental control was removed…what can I do about that?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

First of all, it sounds like he is really trying to hide something. I’ll have to look into the tech side of how to avoid that. But you may just need to revoke his privileges or something until he leaves it alone. I’ll definitely get back to you on this one.

[@pistolpetechilton1247]

How do you stop them from deleting the parental control?

[@ShepherdAtHome]

When you set it up, you set a passcode. You can’t make changes without the passcode.

[@chrismason6796]

When they delete it….YOU TAKE THIER STUFF BECAUSE THEY ARE A CHILD

[@2Guys1ControllerShow]

@@chrismason6796 they can't delete it.

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Do you have a pass code?

[@11283ejuhqQkxnL]

This don’t work

[@wafadevdas7411]

How about if they reset the iPhone everything will be gone !!

[@ShepherdAtHome]

I’m not certain, but I think they will need the passcode to erase the iPhone. If not, then it will be pretty tedious to continue to erase their phone any time they want to bypass the screen time rules. Which brings me to the point I’ve made in other comments… you can’t restrict them away from a heart problem. If they are willing to go to such lengths to avoid these rules, they have a heart problem. One bent on disrespect & rebellion. If that’s the case, they probably don’t deserve a smart phone. You could just get them a flip phone. Or… you might like to lean in with other discussions about what’s really going on in their life. A whole other level of parenting.

Is it an older iPad?

@@ShepherdAtHome iPad Air 2 I’m not too good with technology Thanks for replying

[@ShepherdAtHome]

@@masoomazaidi8881 so, I found out that you need iOS 12 or later to use the screen time feature. Your iPad Air 2 will only run up to iOS 10. So, you’ll need to upgrade the iPad. Then you’ll see it just like my video. Good luck! God bless you as you lean in to raise your kids!!!

Another thing I do is manage at the router. I use eero system and manage for the entire family as well as anyone that may come to the house and use the guest access. The router will turn off internet access during certain times and filter whatever you want. It also gives a history of all sites visited or attempted.

[@ShepherdAtHome]

I remember when you used to use Qustodio… I’d love to try to step by step some of your setup and help everyday people see how to get some of your controls in their homes.

[@YetAnotherAdventure]

@@ShepherdAtHome that’s still a great app but as you showed the iPhone if properly set up, can give you so much parental controls. As the kids get older I also love Life360. I try not to use it to point things out but to help everyone be able to keep each other accountable in the car (this is more as an addition to the phone controls). All this being said we have to allow trust to build. So as the child shows trustable actions then more privileges are then given. “Rewards system”. Love the channel. Keep it going need more positive reinforcement.

[@Rami366]

Lol you got some dislikes

[@ShepherdAtHome]

Sometimes kids don’t like it when parents put restrictions. Everybody needs some form of guardrails. I can deal with some dislikes if the goal is stronger families. Have an awesome day.
