Minors are increasingly using electronic devices from a young age, which represents a great responsibility for parents because It is necessary to control what content they can access and how long they can use the applications. We explain everything to you below.

A big mistake we make with our toddlers is giving them our iPhones and iPads as a means of entertainment. Apart from assessments about the age from which this should be done, or even if it should be done, what is very clear is that if we do it It is necessary to put up barriers so that they cannot access content that does not suit them.. The first thing to do is to create a minor account for them, associated with our Apple account. It's something free and very simple to do that allows us to do everything else that I explain below. In this video that we published a while ago I explain the steps to do it.

Once this is done, we can establish parental controls on your device. With them we can set usage time limits, not only for the device itself, but also for certain applications. We can configure schedules for groups of applications (for example, social networks) or for individual applications, setting as many different limits as we want. After this time, we can give you more time if you ask us.but always with our permission. We can also configure apps that you can still use. So if we want you to be able to call us by phone whenever you need, whatever time it is, we can do that. The customization options are endless and in just a few minutes we can establish control over the duration of use completely adapted to our preferences.

We may also control the type of content you can access. It's important control what apps you can install, who you can contact, what web pages you can access, and what features of your device you can change. All these functions are described in this video that we leave you today in which we can differentiate two sections: a first quick configuration and a more in-depth configuration in the second half of the video. I hope this is useful to you.
