Setting age restrictions on a tablet or phone is one of the best, simplest and quickest ways to ensure that your child can only access age-appropriate content. You should always apply the restrictions appropriate to their age and lock those restrictions in place BEFORE giving a child a new phone or tablet.

• Go to the general settings of the iPhone or iPad they use.
• Enable restrictions.
• Create a PIN so a child cannot bypass the device restrictions.

You can now apply age-appropriate restrictions to films, TV programmes, books, Siri, websites and more.
