This setting is similar to the Kid Mode featured on Android Tablets and other devices. Parents frequently ask us here at Apple ToolBox how they restrict access to a single app, so they quickly lock their iDevice to a specific app before handing it over to the kids. We need the controls to lock apps! Parents Want a Watchful Eye We need to have the ability to lock apps into Kids Mode. So, as parents, we really need some parental controls in place. Kids are naturally curious AND have limited attention spans, so it’s only a matter of time before that curiosity gets the best of them. But it’s also too darn easy for kids to get into apps they shouldn’t, aren’t supposed to, or even purchasing content and deleting apps.Īnd then there’s that ever-alluring Home button–my youngest at 18 months just cannot keep his hands off it! Instead of quietly watching or playing with an app, he’ll watch what feels like 5 seconds and then go back to clicking the Home button AGAIN and AGAIN. It’s so handy to just hand over to the kids for reading books, playing interactive games, drawing, or watching a show on Netflix and other streaming services.
