Today we're going to teach you how to create an Apple account for kids. A great idea if we have little ones at home and we want to control everything they do with these devices.
Creating an Apple account for children does not mean that we will control everything that little ones do or do not do. With this account, we can allow or not allow purchases in the App Store, for example. Even in iOS 12, we can control the time they are in an app and how much they can use it throughout the day.
We, today we are going to explain how to create this account and thus have a little more control over all the content that we leave for the little ones in the house.
How to Create an Apple Account for Kids
What we have to do is go to the device settings and click on our name. This appears right on the first tab, as soon as you enter the settings. Here we will see all the devices that we have connected to our account, the account of iCloud
It is in this section, where we will see a tab with the name of "In Family" . Click on this option and configure it following the steps indicated, as long as we do not have it configured.
Setting Up Family for Kids
In here, we can now add members to our family, with whom we can share the purchases we make, for example. But what interests us is to create an account for minors. Therefore, click on the option "Create an account for minors".
In case we have iOS 12 or higher, the steps to follow are the same, but as soon as we enter the settings, we must click on iCloud and then on Family.
Now that we have started to create the account, we just have to follow the steps that are indicated. They will ask us for information such as the date of birth, a username Once finished, we can choose the options that we want to control, such as purchases in the App Store, as well as games
By creating these restrictions, when the little one wants to make a payment, we will have to give him permission from our device. A great option to not get scared with purchases that don't we have done.
Therefore, if you are thinking of buying a device for children, without a doubt this is one of the first steps you should take.
