In this article, I am going to show you how to enable and use restrictions on iOS devices. Restrictions are also known by parental controls. for the present is very necessary that how to guide the child in a good and better way, they want to know which sites their child visit, what they do, then they may restrict their child’s physically but it’s I long a hard way. so in this cause they can enable restrictions on their devices, with IOS restrictions we can do many things, like restricting some sites from visiting or we can block or disable safari, restrict films, restrict facebook privacy, restrict game center from add friends and play Multiplayer games in Game Cente and much more. so we can say Use Restrictions, also known as parental controls, on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch to prevent access to specific apps and features.
In this day and age, when you can’t really take your kid’s phone away from them for long periods of time, I’ve effectively turned to these settings as an alternative.
I’ve only had to do it once, but I set up a PIN, reset their phone wiping all the games and social media crap off of it, and then turned off all extra features – no safari, no camera, no installing apps. They can make phone calls, but no Facebook or Twitter, and they have to text friends the old fashioned way like animals.
