Your Kid's First Phone: Setup, Protection And Parental Controls
Parental Controls (iPhone)
- Family Sharing > add a child account. It turns on Ask to Buy, so purchases need your OK.
- Screen Time: set Downtime, App Limits and Content & Privacy Restrictions. Use a Screen Time passcode they don't know.
- Communication Limits: control who they can call and text.
- Share My Location through Family Sharing.
Parental Controls (Android)
Use Google Family Link for app approval, screen time and location.
Hardware That Survives Kids
- A thick case with raised edges
- A tempered glass screen protector. One is free with any screen replacement, while supplies last.
- A short charging cable by the bed. Long cables get yanked and damage ports.
When It Breaks (It Will)
- Economy screens are great for kids' phones. They're a solid everyday screen at a fair price.
- Budget screens (select iPhone models) are our lowest cost, with a 1-year warranty against defects on undamaged parts, and they're ordered in for your repair.
- See screen prices by model.
