How to set child controls on ipad


Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

With Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time, you can block or limit specific apps and features on your child's device. You can also restrict the settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for explicit content, purchases and downloads, and privacy.

Set Content & Privacy Restrictions

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Turn on Screen Time, then tap it again. Choose "This is My [Device]" or "This is My Child's [Device]. "
  3. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode, then turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions.

Make sure to choose a passcode that's different from the passcode that you use to unlock your device. To change or turn off the passcode on your child's device, tap Settings > Screen Time > [your child's name]. Then tap Change Screen Time Passcode or Turn Off Screen Time Passcode, and authenticate the change with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.

With iOS 16, while you're setting up Screen Time for a child's device, you can set age-related restrictions for content in apps, books, TV shows, and movies. Just follow the onscreen instructions during setup.

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.

 

Prevent iTunes & App Store purchases

You can also prevent your child from being able to install or delete apps, make in-app purchases, and more. To prevent iTunes & App Store purchases or downloads:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time. 
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
  3. Tap iTunes & App Store Purchases.
  4. Choose a setting and set to Don't Allow.

You can also change your password settings for additional purchases from the iTunes & App Store or Book Store. Follow steps 1-3, then choose Always Require or Don't Require.

 

 

Allow built-in apps and features

You can restrict the use of built-in apps or features. If you turn off an app or feature, the app or feature won't be deleted, it's just temporarily hidden from your Home Screen. For example, if you turn off Mail, the Mail app won't appear on your Home Screen until you turn it back on.

To change your Allowed Apps:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  3. Enter your Screen Time passcode. 
  4. Tap Allowed Apps. 
  5. Select the apps that you want to allow.

Prevent explicit content and content ratings

You can also prevent the playback of music with explicit content and movies or TV shows with specific ratings. Apps also have ratings that can be configured using content restrictions.

To restrict explicit content and content ratings:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.
  3. Choose the settings that you want for each feature or setting under Allowed Store Content.

Here are the types of content that you can restrict:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions and enter your Screen Time passcode. 
  3. Tap Content Restrictions, then tap Web Content.
  4. Choose Unrestricted Access, Limit Adult Websites, or Allowed Websites.

To allow changes to privacy settings:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.

How to Set Parental Controls on Your Child's iPhone or iPad

When it comes to keeping your kids safe, technology is an important consideration. If you have Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads, in the house, you have access to a robust set of resources for controlling what your kids can do on their own devices. You just have to know how to set them up.

Here's what you'll need to do.

Set content and privacy restrictions using Screen Time

Before you can start, you must have Screen Time for Family set up on your device.

5. If you're setting up parental controls on your kid's iPhone, select This is My Child's iPhone.

Select who's phone you're using at the bottom. Devon Delfino

6. Tap Downtime, then configure the hours you want your kid's iPhone to be offline. For example, you might want to prevent them from playing games or using social media after dinner. Regardless of what hours you choose, calls and text messages will still get through.

From the Screen Time page, select "Downtime. " Devon Delfino

7. Tap the back button, then select App Limits. From there, you can choose how long your child can use various kinds of apps. For example, you can limit social media apps and games to two hours a day, then tap Set App Limit.

1. Go into your Settings app and tap Screen Time.

2. Select Content & Privacy Restrictions.

3. Enter your Screen Time passcode, as directed. 

4. Select Allowed Apps. 

From the Content & Privacy Restrictions page, go to "Allowed Apps." Devon Delfino

CSS3 | Pseudo-classes of child elements

Last updated: 04/21/2016

  • :last-child: represents the element that is the last child of the element

  • :only-child: represents an element that is the only child in some container

  • :only-of-type: selects an element that is the only element of a certain type (tag) in some container

  • :nth-child(n): represents a child that has a specific number n, such as the second child

  • :nth-last-child(n): represents the child element that has a specific number n, starting at the end

  • :nth-of-type(n): selects a child of a specific type that has a specific number

  • :nth-last-of-type(n): selects a child element of a specific type that has a specific number, starting at the end

    • Pseudo-class first-child

    Use the pseudo-class first-child to select the first links in blocks: 

         Selectors in CSS3    
    Tablets
     
     Microsoft Surface Pro 4
     Apple iPad Pro
     ASUS ZenPad Z380KL 
     
    Smartphones
     
     
    Top Smartphones 2016
     Samsung Galaxy S7
     Apple iPhone SE
     Huawei P9

    Style by selector a:first-child applies to a link if it is the first child of any element.

    In the first block, the link element is the first child element, so the specific style is applied to it.

    And in the second block, the first element is a paragraph, so none of the links are styled.

    Pseudo-class last-child

    Using pseudo-class last-child : 

         Selectors in CSS3    
    Smartphones
     
     Samsung Galaxy S7
     Apple iPhone SE
     Huawei P9 
     
    Tablets
     
     Microsoft Surface Pro 4
     Apple iPad Pro
     ASUS ZenPad Z380KL 
    Data for 2016

    The selector a:last-child defines the style for links that are the last children.

    In the first block, just the last child element is a link. But in the second, the last child element is a paragraph, so in In the second block, the style is not applied to any of the links.

    only-child selector

    The :only-child selector selects elements that are the only children in containers: 

         Selectors in CSS3    
    Header
     
     
    Text1
     
     
     
    Text2
     
    Text3
     
     
     
    Text4

    The paragraphs with the texts "Text1" and "Text4" are the only children in their outer containers, so they are styled with a red font color.

    The only-of-type pseudo-class

    The only-of-type pseudo-class selects an element that is the only element of a particular type in the container. For example, a single div element, while elements of other types in the same container can be as many as you like. 

         Selectors in CSS3    
     header 
     
    Single paragraph and span element
     
     footer

    Even though the style is defined for the div elements, it will not be applied because there are two div elements in the body container instead of one. But in body there is only one p element, so it will get styled. And also there is only one span element in the p container, so it will be styled as well.

    The nth-child pseudo-class

    The nth-child pseudo-class allows you to style every second, third element, only even or only odd elements, etc.

    For example, stylizing even and odd table rows: 

         Selectors in CSS3    
    Smartphones
     
     
    SamsungGalaxy S7 Edge60000
     
    AppleiPhone SE39000 
    MicrosoftLumia 65013500
     
    AlcatelIdol S430000
     
    HuaweiP960000
     
    HTCHTC 1050000
     
    MeizuPro 640000
     
    XiaomiMi535000

    To style odd elements, "odd" is passed to the selector: 

     tr:nth-child(odd){}

    To style even elements, "even" is passed to the selector: (even){}

    We can also pass the number of the element being styled to this selector: 

     tr:nth-child(3) { background-color: #bbb; }

    In this case, the third line is being styled.

    Another possibility is to use a substitute for a number that is expressed by the letter n: 

     tr:nth-child(2n+1) { background-color: #bbb; }

    Here the style is applied to every second odd line.

    The number before n (in this case 2) represents which child element will be selected next. The number that comes after the plus sign indicate which element to start selection from, i.e. +1 means to start from the first child element.

    Thus, in this case, the selection starts with the 1st element, and the next selection is 2 * 1 + 1 = 3rd element, then 2 * 2 + 1 = 5th element, and so on.

    For example, if we wanted to select every third element, starting with the second, we could write: 

     tr:nth-child(3n+2) { background-color: #bbb; }

    The :nth-last-child pseudo-class essentially provides the same functionality, only the elements are counted from the beginning, not from the end: 

     tr:nth-last-child(2) { background-color: #bbb; /* 2nd line from the end, i. e. penultimate */ } tr:nth-last-child(2n+1) { background-color: #eee; /* odd lines starting from the end */ }

    Pseudo-class nth-of-type

    Pseudo-class :nth-of-type allows you to select a child element of a certain type by a certain number: 

     tr:nth-of-type(2) { background-color: #bbb; }

    The nth-last-of-type pseudo-class works similarly, only now the elements are counted from the end: 

     tr:nth-last-of-type(2n) { background-color: #bbb; }
