This year is already the entrance season. It seems that some schools do not hold entrance ceremonies due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but on March 31, Science Minister Hagita said, "There is a possibility that schools will be closed in certain areas," as the infection continues to spread. It is desirable to reopen the school from the new semester. " Under such circumstances, there should be many parents who have their children have / have smartphones when they go on to school. Therefore, in this article, assuming that children will make their iPhone / iPad debut this spring, I have summarized the settings that parents with iPhone / iPad should do.
Set up family sharing
If this is your first iPhone, the first thing you should do is set up family sharing. By creating a dedicated Apple ID for your child and setting up family sharing with your parent's Apple ID, you can share your previously purchased apps, music, videos, ebooks, and more with your family. If you're using Apple Music, you can change your subscription settings to Family Plan and users added to Family Sharing will automatically be able to use Apple Music. Family Sharing shares the following purchased items and subscriptions, depending on your settings:
To get started with Family Sharing settings, open the Parents' iPhone Settings app and tap the part of your name at the top to display the Apple ID page. Select "Family Sharing" from this setting item, tap the "Add Family Member ..." item on the page that appears next, and "Create a child account" from the menu displayed in the drawer from the bottom of the screen. ".
Then, you will be asked to create an Apple ID for your child. After entering your date of birth and confirming your privacy agreement, enter the credit card security code associated with your parent's Apple ID. Then create an Apple ID for your child. Here, enter the part of the user name before "@ icloud.com" by deciding the password on the next screen, and select 3 questions that the person can understand for recovery when the password is forgotten, and answer the answer. Enter. After you turn on the Approval and Purchase Request field on the next page, you agree to the Terms of Service and your Apple ID creation is complete. We recommend that you turn on "Approval and Purchase Request" as it is intended to prevent children from purchasing paid content on their own.
Set screen time
Next, make settings to protect your child from harmful content. Previously, it was set in the "Function restriction" item from the Settings app, but from iOS 12, "Screen time" has been introduced, making the setting easier to understand. Screen time is a function to limit the pause time to stop using the iPhone, the usage time of the application in a day, and the access to harmful contents. Since the child's iPhone has already been registered for Family Sharing, you can set the screen time from the parent's iPhone as the parent device. First, select the "Screen time" item from the parent's iPhone settings app, tap the child's name set in Family Sharing on the next page, and select "Turn on screen time" at the transition destination. ..
When you turn on screen time, a screen that briefly explains the screen time function is displayed, so if you proceed while reading it, you will be taken to the pause time setting page. The pause time is the time when the iPhone is not used / not used. To set it, set the start time and end time and click the [Set pause time] button. On the next page, set the App usage time. Here, set the time that the app can be used per day for all apps or genres. If the time is exceeded, the app will not be available until the next day. Continue reading the content and privacy instructions, then move on to the screen time passcode entry page. The passcode is for limiting / canceling the screen time, please enter a 4-digit number.
Once all the settings are done, tap the child's name displayed in the screen time section of the Settings app again to see how the child is using the iPhone. If you have set a pause, you should check the "Communication / Call Restrictions" item and decide whether your child will be able to use calls, iMessage, etc. even during the pause. Probably. In addition, read the items in "Content and Privacy Restrictions" to "Content Restrictions" as appropriate, and the movies are set according to usage such as music, age rating settings for apps, and browsing restrictions for adult websites. I recommend that you do.
Display settings for the app you are looking for
IPhones with family sharing can find out where they are from the parent's "Find My" app by turning on the location sharing setting. If you are worried that your time to return to school or cram school is later than usual, you can find out where you are like a watching mobile phone by checking the position of your iPhone.
However, if it is left as it is, the child can operate the setting app of the iPhone by himself and disable the sharing of location information. To prevent this, open the screen time from your child's iPhone (requires the passcode set from the parent device), open "Location Services" from "Content and Privacy Restrictions", and check "Do not allow changes". increase. This setting will allow you to know your child's whereabouts at any time, but avoid checking your child's whereabouts many times a day or asking for a few steps or holiday behaviors. Nothing is more annoying to a grown-up child than a stalking guardian.
Steps for a child to install the app
Since you turned on the "Approval and Purchase Request" item when setting up Family Sharing, your child will first be prompted to enter their Apple ID password when they try to install a new app. Next, when you press the [Install Button], the approval request screen will pop up, so tap "Request approval". Then, a message requesting approval will appear on the parent's iPhone, so if you select whether to obtain or reject it from the transition screen and enter the parent's Apple ID password, you can install it on the child's iPhone. By the way, you can basically set only the functions and contents provided by Apple in Family Sharing. For example, if you want to use your family plan on Spotify instead of Apple Music, or if you want to add a profile to Netflix for parental controls, you'll need to configure each service individually.
