Apple TV+ parental controls
Apple TV+ is a streaming service that offers original content, including award-winning series, documentaries, comedies, and more. While it provides a diverse range of shows and movies for audiences, not all content may be suitable for younger viewers. Here's a guide to setting up and optimising Apple TV+ parental controls to ensure a safe and age-appropriate viewing experience for your family.
Setting Up Apple TV+ Parental Controls
Before setting up parental controls on Apple TV+, also known as restrictions, you must first create a PIN or passcode. This PIN will be essential for future access to the Restrictions menu in the Settings. To create your passcode:
- Using your Apple TV remote, select the Settings app from the bottom of the Home Screen.
- Navigate to 'General' and then select 'Restrictions'.
- Create a 4-digit passcode by entering your chosen number and confirming it.
- Select 'OK' to continue.
Once the Restrictions are enabled, you can customise your parental control settings. The options may vary depending on your Apple TV generation, but the following settings are typically available:
- Allow: This option grants full access to all apps and features without any password protection or restrictions.
- Restrict: Enables password protection for app usage, downloads, purchases, or rentals on Apple TV+.
- Hide: Hides specific apps or their features, preventing children from accessing them.
- Block/No: Explicitly blocks content, apps, or features identified as potentially harmful or explicit.
Third-Party Parental Control Apps
While Apple TV+ offers built-in parental controls, you can also enhance protection by using third-party apps like Safes and FamiSafe. These apps provide additional layers of protection and offer features such as:
- Cross-platform compatibility (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac)
- Time limits for screen time
- Real-time location tracking
- Content restrictions and web content filtering
- Geo-fencing
Unrestricted Purchases and Billing
It's important to note that unrestricted purchases can lead to unexpected bills and inappropriate content access. To manage this, go to the Restrictions menu and find the 'iTunes Store' settings. Here, you can control and restrict purchases to prevent unexpected costs and ensure suitable content access.
Other Free Streaming Options in Australia
While Apple TV+ offers a range of content, it may not have all the titles you're interested in. Fortunately, there are several other streaming services and free-to-air TV options available in Australia:
- Binge, the home of HBO in Australia, offers big-budget shows.
- Amazon Prime Video provides original content like The Boys and The Rings of Power.
- Free-to-air TV options include ABC (iView), Ten (Tenplay), Seven (7Plus), Nine (9Now), and SBS (On Demand).
