Apple’s video streaming service, Apple TV+, has a nice mix of content, but not all of the content is kid-friendly. If you’re concerned about your children watching something they shouldn’t be, you can set up parental controls to restrict access to content on Apple TV+ by rating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, this is all controlled through Screen Time settings, while the Apple TV and streaming on a web browser use slightly different settings. Here’s how to set up parental control for Apple TV+<\/a> no matter where you’re streaming it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

                Extra protections<\/h2>\n

                Kids are inquisitive by nature which is exactly why parental controls were invented to stop them from stumbling across content that they shouldn’t.<\/p>\n

                Though Apple TV+ doesn’t have parental controls built in, hopefully the guidance above has shown you how you can utilize the best iPhone<\/a>, Apple TV, and Mac content restrictions to help shield young ones from mature content.<\/p>\n
