How do I use parental controls on my iPhone? With Restrictions!

Parental Controls, also known as Restrictions, let you manage which features, apps, and content your kids can and cannot access on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. That includes the ability to block content based on its age rating. You can even restrict Siri commands based on explicit language and web access, as well as restrict adult-content or specific URLs in Safari.

How to choose the rating region for restrictions on iPhone and iPad in iOS 11 or earlier

You can set the ratings region for restrictions to any country you like, even one you don't currently live in. It's great for people who've moved to a new country but want to stick with a previous, more familiar system.

  1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.
  2. Tap on General.

  3. Tap on Restrictions.

  4. Tap on Enable Restrictions at the top if they aren't already enabled. If they are, you can skip to step 7.
  5. Type a 4-digit passcode. It should be a unique code and definitely not the same one you use to lock the device.

  6. Type your passcode again to confirm it.

  7. Tap on Ratings For under the Allowed Content section.

  8. Tap on your desired country or region name.

Parental controls and restrictions will remember your selection and when content is filtered out, it will go by the ratings standards for your preferred region.
