I think it is best to give kids a phone at either 11 or 12 because they can use it to call you after school clubs or anything like that.

If you are worried about inappropriate things you can just block it. However, my son who recently bought a iPhone xs isn't willing to let us place restrictions on his phone. What do we do? Because that's a perfect way to straighten your relationship. Excellent Blog. Thanks for sharing. Can these tips be used with an android phone also? I am feeling rather disappointed with this article. Why buy a kid an iPhone when you have no prior technical knowledge, and when you will restrict it so heavily? Early trust can go a long way.

A kid will feel untreated with all of this stupid crap, thus creating more issues. I'll show this to my mom later on. There goes all your freedom. Hi Christine, This article is fantastic! Came across it just in time when I'm thinking about giving my soon to be 11 year old son an iPhone. Although Apple just updated the iOS and navigation is a bit different I was able to get around, and set up my son's phone with no issues. He hasn't used it yet, so I can't say how well enabling restriction works. There might be a workaround if you would like to share this with us. If not, this is definitely something Apple needs to work on.

I work in IT and understand the gap between system behavior and user expectations - sometimes they are not the same. We can only make the suggestion to Apple and hope they will listen to us. Hopefully we can see this in the next update. God bless you, Daniela.

After 10 years of iPhones and iPads, it's still a widely held misconception that Apple iOS devices iPhone, iPad, iPod with parental controls set up like this post describes is relatively safe from kids accessing very mature content. Sadly, even with all of this set up, the device is likely still WIDE OPEN to any content of any kind if it has just 1 app that contains an embedded browser or 'In-App' browser or if at any point an app with an embedded browser gets installed. It has decreased some over the years, but the apps that have these browsers built into them so that a user can effectively bypass the 'Restrictions' settings and surf the entire web even if Safari is turned off, the ability to install apps is turned off or a filtering browser like NetNanny, Covenant Eyes, etc.

Now how this works within each iOS version and which apps have it is changing regularly, but plenty of the apps that have these embedded browsers are very popular and seemingly innocuous ones and it's very easy to miss which apps have them. It's possible there might be something in iOS 11 that was recently released that completely closes this backdoor loophole to unrestricted, unfiltered and untraceable internet access, but I highly doubt it.

I wish journalists and especially Apple! What version of iOS 11? Our household is slightly unique from most. I have my two older children Son and daughter living with us, as well as my wife's 10 year old daughter. The 10 y.
