HOW TO Make content age–appropriate

1 Enable restrictions

Click on the last link in the sidebar, Content & Privacy. Here you can set age restrictions on a per–account basis, so you can have stricter limits for younger children or more generous ones for older kids.

2 Keep it clean

There are lots of options here: filtering books, music, news and podcasts (in Apple’s own apps and stores), limiting in–app purchases on iOS, blocking any Apple TV content that isn’t rated “Clean” and so on.

3 Switch off apps

The Apps tab is really useful, because it enables you to turn off some of the standard apps — so you might want to switch off News or FaceTime. It’s also good to see disabling AirDrop as an option here.
