Restrictions on the iPhone



With the Internet we became accustomed to parental control, ensuring our children do not fall prey to the large number of traps set by unscrupulous Internet users. Apple incorporated parental control functions into the iPhone, but called this ‘Restrictions’.

By making use of ‘Restrictions’ you will be required to make up a 4-digit password, which will allow you to place various restrictions on the usage of the iPhone. Restrictions allow the user to place restrictions in 3 different categories of the iPhone. They are:

Music / Sounds
By turning on Explicit, the iPhone will prevent playing songs or sounds that may contain explicit lyrics. This function, however only works with music acquired from the iTunes store.

Video / TV
This function also prevents displaying videos with an age restriction of PG13 and up. It will also block TV series whose rating exceeds TV-14.

Removing Icons
The user may also remove Icons altogether from the iPhone’s Home screen, which include Safari. iTunes, Youtube and Installation of Apps.

The restrictions placed upon an iPhone can simply be removed by visiting the restriction settings and choosing disabling the restrictions. The user will be requested to enter the 4-digit password and the settings will be disabled if the password is entered incorrectly.

The main reason for using restrictions are preventing minors from accessing potential dangerous Internet websites or other unwanted content. This function may also be useful in the event an iPhone is lost or stolen. Those illegally in possession of the iPhone will not be able to access the Internet.
