If you want to prevent your child from running up huge bills that could get into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars, the first piece of advice is not to set up the device through iTunes with a credit card linked to it. The worst thing you can do is turn on the device and hand it over as is without checking the settings. Or you can set up a device for an older child, for e.g a 12 or 13 year old so that they are restricted only from adult content. You can enable specific privacy and safety settings on each device so that your younger child can only use a few apps, from educational apps to drawing apps and age appropriate games.
Parental ControlsĪll Apple mobile devices from iPhones through to iPads have really great parental controls. It is so important that when setting up these mobile devices for your children that you set up the iDevice appropriately with safety settings for their age and maturity. It’s quite likely that kids as young as 4 years old will be given iPad Minis or iPods. Predictably there will be a huge amount of Apple mobile devices given as gifts to kids of all ages in a few weeks time for Christmas.
