Screen time limiting apps

[theviewfrommywindow]

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an app that limits screen time on children's devices, please? (Specifically Apple).

Many thanks.

Qustodio worked well for us

For iPhones and iPads there's an option built in. Go to settings, and there should be an option called 'screen time'. You can add the apps you want included in the limit and there are various other settings I haven't tried out yet. You add a passcode so the limit can't just be turned off by the children either 😆

Oh that's really interesting, I'm going to investigate that, thank you!

Screen time on Apple is very good and easy to use. Although don’t give them the passcode as a one off when they’re on a sleepover and then forget they know it and wonder how they’re managing to be on Snapchat at 2am 😬

Also if they hand you their phone to enter the password for a specific reason, make sure they aren’t screen recording first!

These are excellent words of wisdom - thank you!

Have followed your instructions, so far so good - thanks so much for your help!
