She was happy that she had control over what other social media Apps her child could download, through the Ask to Buy setting.īut there is a catch to this setting that meant her child could have downloaded Apps or other content without having to ask for permission.Īll parents need to be aware of this 'back door'. This mum was considering allowing her child on Instagram (as a Private account of course), so we installed it and set up the app so that it is a Private account. In this particular client's case, her child was very keen to get onto the social media platforms that her friends were already on. This setting allows a parent to remotely authorise (or not) a request from a child who is a member of their iCloud Family, to purchase/download content (even free apps). While assisting a client to set up Parental Controls on her 11yo child's new iPhone this week, discussion turned to the topic of the ' Ask to Buy ' setting in the Family Sharing setup of iCloud. It's that time of year again when many parents are getting devices ready for their children for the new school year.
