Star has landed on Disney Plus before and brought endlessly popular movies and TV series from the Hulu library to Europe. This means that Disney + now also offers content that is not suitable for the little ones, such as Deadpool 2.
If you have minors at home and want to prevent them from accessing content of this type, then you will need to use the parental control features that come with Disney +. If you want something more drastic, consider canceling your subscription.
How to activate Disney + parental controls
Disney + subscribers can enjoy Star content (movies and TV shows for ages 14 and up) from the moment they log into their account from the launch of Star on February 23.
Disney Plus offers seven profiles, which means you can set up different parental controls for different profiles or even block certain profiles with a PIN code and thus prevent minors from accessing them if they do not know the word. password.
Disney makes sure that the parental control setup experience is the same on all devices. Your account saves these settings on all the devices you use Disney + on, which means you only need to configure them once.
However, if you have more than one Disney + account at home (that is, if you signed up for the service from multiple email addresses), you will need to change the settings individually for each account.
