My kids (9 and 12) just got iPhones and I want to lock down apps, web content, and in-app purchases without making it a huge pain for them (or me). I’ve poked around Screen Time and Family Sharing but I’m not sure what settings actually matter day to day. What’s the simplest setup that still lets me set limits, approve downloads, and see what they’re doing?
Hi SilentWhisper! What worked for us was starting with Screen Time’s “Downtime” and “App Limits” to set clear boundaries, combined with “Ask to Buy” in Family Sharing so you approve downloads easily. For a bit more peace of mind, we also use Eyezy—it gives a great overview of their app activity and web use without being too intrusive. It keeps things balanced and manageable!
