Have you tried? It's a dumpster fire.

Child requests app purchase > I get notification > It wants my AppleID password > I go to password manager to get password, but this dismisses the notification.

I believe it's getting a bit of love this OS cycle, but it's hopeless currently.


This is not enough because in reality (I guess) most parents do not bother with setting this up (or don't know how to do it) and as a result kids stay unprotected. Maybe there should be a law requiring to setup such settings and a one-click option to switch to restricted mode without having to toggle every checkbox.


Way easier.. full parental control, no phone for the kids. 100% effective.

I got my first phone at 35. I figure my kids can wait a bit.
