长时间(Prolonged)使用智能手机和接触不当内容可能会伤害您的孩子。如果您的孩子使用 iPhone,请确保该设备具有适当的家长控制设置。通过家长控制,您可以减少孩子的智能手机使用量(cut back your child’s smartphone usage)、管理他们的应用程序、他们访问的网站、他们打电话/发短信的人等。
本教程将向您展示如何使用屏幕时间(Screen Time)功能在 iPhone 上设置家长控制。
在 iPhone 上启用屏幕使用时间
首先(First)要做的事:在您孩子的 iPhone 上启用屏幕使用时间。(Time)
- 打开设置(Settings)应用程序并点击屏幕时间(Screen Time)。
- 点击打开屏幕时间(Turn On Screen Time),然后点击继续(Continue)继续。
- 确保选择这是我孩子的 iPhone(This is My Child’s iPhone)。此选项在屏幕时间(Time)上提供额外的家长控制功能供个人使用。
现在您可以继续安排“停机时间(Downtime)”、设置应用程序限制(App Limits)、配置内容限制(Content Restrictions)等。但是,在任何事情之前,请设置屏幕时间(Time)密码。
设置屏幕时间密码
您需要创建一个四位数的密码来强制执行屏幕时间(Time)限制和其他家长控制设置。以下是设置屏幕时间(Time)密码的方法。
- 转到设置(Settings)>屏幕使用时间(Screen Time),然后点击使用屏幕使用时间密码(Use Screen Time Passcode)。
- 设置一个四位数的屏幕时间(Time)密码,然后重新输入密码。
- 最后,提供您的Apple ID帐户详细信息(电子邮件和密码)以进行恢复。
- 输入(Enter)您的Apple ID电子邮件地址,输入您的帐户密码,然后点击右上角的“确定(OK)”。
如果您忘记了屏幕使用时间(Screen Time)密码,您可以使用您的Apple ID重设它。请注意,恢复Apple ID必须与您孩子的Apple ID不同。
现在,您可以继续在孩子的 iPhone 上配置不同的家长控制系统。
设置停机时间
停机时间(Downtime)是指您的孩子无法访问其 iPhone 上的某些应用程序或功能。更准确地说,是您希望他们远离电话的时期。例如,在就寝时间或上课时间。
- 打开屏幕时间(Screen Time)菜单,选择停机时间(Downtime),输入您的密码,然后点击开启停机时间直到明天(Turn On Downtime Until Tomorrow )以立即激活停机时间。
- 要设置固定的停机时间(Downtime)段,请打开Scheduled,自定义Downtime日期和时间,然后打开Block at Downtime。
在停机(Downtime)时间,您的孩子将只能拨打蜂窝电话和FaceTime电话、发送消息和使用地图(Maps)。要从停机时间(Downtime)限制中删除应用程序,请打开屏幕使用时间(Screen Time),选择始终允许(Always Allowed),然后点击应用程序旁边的减号图标。(minus icon)要将应用添加到“允许的应用(Allowed Apps)”列表中,请在“选择应用”部分中点击应用旁边的加号图标。
您可以在停机(Downtime)期间限制通信。例如,您的孩子将能够在停机(Downtime)期间通过电话、FaceTime和消息(Messages)与联系人列表中的人进行交流。要将通信限制为特定联系人,请转到屏幕时间(Screen Time)>始终允许(Always Allowed)>联系人(Contacts),然后选择特定联系人。(Specific Contacts.)接下来,点击从我的联系人(Choose From My Contacts)中选择,选择联系人并点击完成(Done)以保存更改。
设置应用限制
接下来,设置应用程序使用的每日限制。因此,限制您的孩子在某些应用程序或网站等上花费的时间。
- 打开屏幕使用时间(Screen Time),选择应用限制,(App Limits,)点击添加限制(Add Limits),然后输入您的密码。
- 选择所有应用程序和类别(All App & Categories)以将使用限制应用于所有应用程序。或选择特定的应用类别。在搜索栏中键入应用程序的名称以便快速访问。然后,点击页面右上角的下一步。(Next)
注意:(Note:) IOS将自动限制安装在您选择的类别中的所有新应用程序。
- 在“时间”部分设置时间限制。
- 展开自定义天数(Customize Days)子部分,为不同的工作日分配不同的限制。否则,点击右上角的添加(Add)以设置限制。
假设(Say)您想让您的孩子在周末有更多的游戏时间或使用社交媒体,这是设置它的理想场所。
- 选择要修改时限的日期,设置自定义时限,返回上一页。
- 确保在限制结束时阻止(Block at the End of Limit)选项已打开,然后点击添加(Add)以保存应用程序限制。
您还可以使用应用程序限制(App Limits)菜单来限制您的孩子在特定网站上花费的时间。如果您可以在网络浏览器上访问应用程序的内容,您也应该为网站设置限制。例如,如果您为YouTube应用程序设置了限制,您还应该为“youtube.com”创建网站限制。这样,您的孩子将无法通过应用程序或Safari访问(Safari)YouTube。
请注意,这不是阻止访问成人网站(blocking access to adult websites)或具有远程成人内容的网站的最佳选择。我们将在下一节中向您展示如何做到这一点。
前往应用限制(App Limits)菜单,创建新限制或编辑现有应用限制,然后点击网站(Website)。接下来,点击添加网站(Add Website),然后输入网站的 URL。点击右上角的下一步(Next),设置时间限制,打开限制结束时的阻止(Block at End of Limit),然后点击添加(Add)。
您的孩子会在设定的限制前 5 分钟收到通知,当他们达到限制时会收到另一个通知。然后,在获得您的批准后,他们可以在点击通知上的请求更多时间时继续使用该应用程序。(Ask For More Time)
要批准更多的屏幕时间,请点击输入屏幕时间密码(Enter Screen Time Passcode),输入密码,然后授予他们 15 分钟、一个小时或全天的访问权限。
要删除应用限制,请转到设置(Settings)>屏幕时间(Screen Time)>应用限制(App Limits),然后选择要删除的限制。输入您的屏幕时间(Time)密码,然后点击删除限制(Delete Limit)。
但是,一个主要缺点是每天午夜都会重置每日应用程序限制。因此,您必须手动设置它们。
设置内容和隐私限制
您可以在此处配置您孩子的 iPhone 以阻止不适合孩子的不适当、露骨或成人内容。此部分中的工具还可以防止您的孩子访问不适当的网络内容、使用预安装的应用程序或进行App Store购买。
限制成人内容
Screen Time有一个成人内容过滤器,可自动限制您的孩子访问许多成人网站。
- 在屏幕时间菜单中选择内容和隐私限制,点击(Content & Privacy Restrictions)内容限制(Content Restrictions),然后输入屏幕时间(Screen Time)密码。
- 接下来,点击Web Content并选择Limit Adult Websites。Apple将自动阻止访问其数据库中的成人网站。
- 如果任何成人或不当网站绕过限制,请手动将该网站添加到 Web 内容限制中。点击“从不允许”部分中的添加网站,输入网站(Add Website)URL,然后点击完成(Done)。
更好的是,选择Allowed Websites Only选项。这将阻止所有网站并允许访问具有安全和儿童友好内容的网站。点击添加网站(Add Website)以在允许的网站列表中包含一个网站。
限制显式内容和语言
您可以设置家长控制设置,以防止Siri响应或搜索包含明显语言、脏话和其他脏话的内容。
转到屏幕时间(Screen Time)>内容和隐私限制(Content & Privacy Restrictions)>内容限制(Content Restrictions)>显式语言(Explicit Language),然后选择不允许(Don’t Allow)。
要停止通过Siri进行网络搜索,请返回“内容限制(Content Restrictions)”页面,选择“网络搜索内容(Web Search Content)”,然后选择“不允许”(Don’t Allow)。
慢慢来
屏幕时间(Screen Time)工具中有许多家长控制设置,我们无法在本教程中介绍所有这些设置。因此(Hence),我们建议您花时间探索屏幕使用时间(Screen Time)并在您孩子的设备上正确设置。您可以使用该工具审查不合适或未分级的内容:电影、电视节目、音乐视频、播客等。
请记住(Remember)在进行任何家长控制设置之前设置屏幕时间密码。(Time)这非常重要。您的孩子无需密码即可绕过特定限制或禁用整个设置。
How to Set Up Parental Controls on iPhone
Prolonged ѕmartphone usage and exрosure to inappropriate content can harm your kids. If your child uses an iPhone, make sure the device has appropriate parental control settіngs. With parental control, you can cut back your child’s smartphone usage, manage their apps, websites they visit, people they call/text, etc.
This tutorial will show you how to set up parental control on an iPhone using Screen Time features.
Enable Screen Time on iPhone
First things first: enable Screen Time on your kid’s iPhone.
- Open the Settings app and tap Screen Time.
- Tap Turn On Screen Time and tap Continue to proceed.
- Ensure you select This is My Child’s iPhone. This option provides additional parental control features over Screen Time for personal use.
Now you can proceed to schedule a “Downtime,” set App Limits, configure Content Restrictions, and more. Before anything, however, set a Screen Time passcode.
Set Screen Time Passcode
You’ll need to create a four-digit passcode to enforce Screen Time restrictions and other parental control settings. Here’s how to set up a Screen Time passcode.
- Go to Settings > Screen Time and tap Use Screen Time Passcode.
- Set a four-digit Screen Time passcode, and re-enter the passcode.
- Finally, provide your Apple ID account details (email & password) for recovery purposes.
- Enter your Apple ID email address, type your account password, and tap OK in the top-right corner.
If you ever forget the Screen Time passcode, you can reset it using your Apple ID. Note that the recovery Apple ID must differ from your child’s Apple ID.
Now, you can proceed to configure different parental control systems on your kid’s iPhone.
Set Up Downtime
Downtime is when your kid(s) can’t access certain apps or features on their iPhone. More precisely, a period when you want them away from the phone. For example, at bedtime or during school hours.
- Open the Screen Time menu, select Downtime, enter your passcode, and tap Turn On Downtime Until Tomorrow to activate Downtime immediately.
- To set a fixed Downtime period, toggle on Scheduled, customize the Downtime days and hours, and toggle on Block at Downtime.
During Downtime hours, your kid will only be able to make cellular & FaceTime calls, send messages, and use Maps. To remove an app from Downtime restrictions, open Screen Time, select Always Allowed, and tap the minus icon next to the app. To add an app to the list of “Allowed Apps,” tap the plus icon next to the app(s) in the “Choose Apps” section.
You can limit communication during Downtime. For example, your kids will be able to communicate with people in their contact list via phone calls, FaceTime, and Messages during Downtime. To limit communication to specific contacts, go to Screen Time > Always Allowed > Contacts and select Specific Contacts. Next, tap Choose From My Contacts, select the contact(s) and tap Done to save the changes.
Set App Limits
Next up, set a daily limit for app usage. Thus, limiting the hours your kids spend on certain apps or websites, etc.
- Open Screen Time, select App Limits, tap Add Limits, and enter your passcode.
- Select All App & Categories to apply the usage limit to all applications. Or select a specific app category. Type the app’s name in the search bar for quick access. Then, tap Next in the top-right corner of the page.
Note: IOS will automatically place the limit on all new apps installed in your chosen category.
- Set a time limit in the “Time” section.
- Expand the Customize Days sub-section to assign a different limit to different weekdays. Otherwise, tap Add in the top-right corner to set the limit.
Say you want to allow your kids more game time or social media usage on weekends, this is the perfect place to set that up.
- Select the day whose time limit you want to modify, set the custom time limit, and return to the previous page.
- Ensure the Block at the End of Limit option is on and tap Add to the save the app limit.
You can also use the App Limits menu to curb how much time your kids spend on a specific website. If you can access the content of an app on a web browser, you should set a limit for the website, too. For instance, if you’ve set a limit for the YouTube application, you should also create a website limit for “youtube.com.” That way, your kids won’t be able to access YouTube via the app or Safari.
Note that this isn’t the best option for blocking access to adult websites or sites with remotely adult content. We’ll show you how to do that in the next section.
Head to the App Limits menu, create a new limit or edit an existing app limit, and tap Website. Next, tap Add Website, and type the website’s URL. Tap Next in the top-right corner, set a time limit, toggle on Block at End of Limit, and tap Add.
Your kids will get a notification 5 minutes before the set limit and another when they hit the limit. Then, with your approval, they can continue using the app when they tap Ask For More Time on the notification.
To approve more screen time, tap Enter Screen Time Passcode, type the passcode, and grant them 15 more minutes, an hour, or full-day access.
To delete an app limit, go to Settings > Screen Time > App Limits and select the limit you want to delete. Enter your Screen Time passcode and tap Delete Limit.
However, one major drawback is that daily app limits are reset every day at midnight. Therefore, you have to set them up manually.
Set Content & Privacy Restriction
This is where you configure your kid’s iPhone to block inappropriate, explicit, or mature content unsuitable for kids. Tools in this section can also prevent your kids from accessing inappropriate web content, using pre-installed apps, or making App Store purchases.
Limit Adult Content
Screen Time has an adult content filter that automatically restricts your kid’s access to many adult websites.
- Select Content & Privacy Restrictions in the Screen Time menu, tap Content Restrictions, and enter the Screen Time passcode.
- Next, tap Web Content and select Limit Adult Websites. Apple will automatically block access to adult websites in its database.
- If any adult or inappropriate website bypasses the restriction, manually add the website to the web content restriction. Tap Add Website in the “Never Allow” section, enter the website URL, and tap Done.
Better yet, select the Allowed Websites Only option. That will block all websites and allow access to websites with safe and children-friendly content. Tap Add Website to include a website in the list of allowed websites.
Limit Explicit Content and Language
You can set up your parental control settings to prevent Siri from responding or searching for content with explicit languages, curse words, and other profanities.
Go to Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Explicit Language and select Don’t Allow.
To stop web searches via Siri, return to the Content Restrictions page, select Web Search Content, and select Don’t Allow.
Take Your Time With It
There are many parental control settings in the Screen Time tool, all of which we cannot cover in this tutorial. Hence, we recommend taking your time to explore Screen Time and set it up correctly on your child’s device. You can use the tool to censor unsuitable or unrated content: movies, TV shows, music videos, podcasts, etc.
Remember to set a Screen Time passcode before making any parental control settings. It’s super important. Your child can bypass specific restrictions or disable the entire settings without a passcode.
