They love to look at them, they love to tap and swipe the screen, they love playing iPhone games, and most of all, they love watching videos on them. (\u201cCurious George\u201d is my daughter\u2019s favorite\u2014for this week at least.) Giving your little ones a hand-me-down iOS device is an easy way to satisfy their desire for a screen of their own\u2014my kid is the proud owner of an iPhone 3GS and a third-generation iPad. That said, you shouldn\u2019t hand over your old iPhone or iPad without doing some kid-proofing first. Read on for five ways to prep an aging iPhone or iPad for your youngster, from wiping your data and setting up a child\u2019s iCloud account to blocking web access and keeping her from racking up in-app charges on your credit card.<\/p>\n<h2>Wipe your old data<\/h2>\n<p>Before you hand over your old iPhone to your kids, you\u2019ll want to make sure any and all of your personal data has been wiped clean. The best way to do so is to perform a \u201cfactory\u201d reset, which wipes the iPhone\u2019s storage and returns it to its factory settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11077\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple2.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"large \">Make sure to back up and then wipe your data before handing over your old iPhone to your child.<\/h6>\n<p>Naturally, you should first make sure you\u2019ve backed up any old iPhone or iPad data you want to preserve. You may already have taken care of this step if you\u2019ve previously upgraded to a new iPhone or iPad and restored your data from iCloud. If not, tap Settings, tap your iCloud profile, then tap <em>iCloud &gt; Backup &gt; Back Up Now<\/em>. You can also back up your old iPhone or iPad by connecting it to your Mac or PC and syncing it with iTunes.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re satisfied that your data is safe and sound, go ahead and wipe the device. Tap <em>Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset &gt; Erase All Content and Settings<\/em>. Once the reset is complete, your old iPhone or iPad will return to its factory settings, just like the day it came out of the box.<\/p>\n<h2>Create a child\u2019s iCloud account<\/h2>\n<p>While it may seem a little soon to, say, create an Apple ID for a toddler, take it from me: it won\u2019t be long before your onesie-clad cutie is walking, talking and pleading for an iPhone upgrade\u2014and when that happens, it\u2019ll be easier to migrate her data and apps if she already has her own iCloud account.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11078\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple3.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"large \">Just because your child is under 13 doesn\u2019t mean she can\u2019t have her own iCloud account and Apple ID.<\/h6>\n<p>Even if your kid is younger than 13 years old, she can still have her own iCloud account and Apple ID. All you need to do is create the account under iOS\u2019s \u201cFamily Sharing\u201d umbrella. With her iCloud account, your child will be able to sign in to an old iPhone or iPad, download apps, and even purchase items from the App Store\u2014only with your approval, of course.<\/p>\n<div class=\"excerpt-text\">\n<p>Also, keep in mind that just because she has an iCloud account, your daughter or son won\u2019t be able to start web surfing, tweeting, or posting selfies on Instagram without your say-so. (More on iOS\u2019s parental controls in a moment.)<\/p>\n<p>You can create a child\u2019s iCloud account directly on your own iPhone or iPad. Just tap Settings, tap your iCloud username, then tap <em>Family Sharing &gt; Add Family Member &gt; Create an Apple ID for a child<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to enter your kid\u2019s birthday, agree to some disclosures and legalese, choose a payment method for App Store purchases (which, again, you can control and\/or block), then choose an Apple ID username and password.<\/p>\n<p>By default, your kid\u2019s new iCloud account won\u2019t let her make App Store purchases without your consent. To double-check the \u201cAsk to Buy\u201d setting, tap Settings, tap your iCloud account name, then tap Family Sharing and your kid\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<h2>Control what your kid can\u2014and can\u2019t\u2014do on her iPhone or iPad<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve got your old iPhone or iPad set up with your child\u2019s new iCloud account, it\u2019s time to make some decisions on which iOS features will be fair game for your kid, and which will be off-limits.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11079\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple4.jpg 400w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple4-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"large \">Don\u2019t want your child surfing the web or snapping photos on her hand-me-down iPhone? You can block those activities in iOS\u2019s Restrictions settings.<\/h6>\n<p>Tap <em>Settings &gt; General &gt; Restrictions &gt; Enable Restrictions<\/em>, then create a Restrictions passcode.<\/p>\n<p>Next, scroll down and disable all the iOS features that you\u2019d rather your kid not mess with. You\u2019ll probably want to disable Safari and the iTunes store right away. You may also want to block your child from installing apps, and if you don\u2019t want your little one snapping a million photos of their crib, you might want to nix the Camera app, too.<\/p>\n<p>In the \u201cAllowed Content\u201d section, make sure to disable in-app purchases, as well as block music with explicit music and any grown-up movies, TV shows and books.<\/p>\n<p>In the Privacy section, you can control which apps can access location services, contacts, the microphone, and more on your kid\u2019s iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of the Restrictions screen, you can also disable access to multiplayer games, friend adding, and screen recording for any Game Center-ready games.<\/p>\n<h2>Hide Settings, Mail, and other Apple apps<\/h2>\n<p>Even after you\u2019ve thoroughly managed all of iOS\u2019s Restrictions settings, you may still see some home-screen icons on your kid\u2019s iPhone or iPad that you\u2019d rather she not mess with. For example, the Settings icon should probably stay out of her hands, as well as the Mail app, Game Center, and the App Store.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11076\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"large \">You can hide the Mail, App Store, and other Apple apps in a folder, preferably on its own home screen in the back.<\/h6>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I did before I gave my daughter my old iPhone: I hid all those various Apple apps in a \u201cHidden\u201d folder in the very last iOS home screen. To create a home screen folder, drag one app icon on top of another, name the folder, then start dragging other app icons into the newly created folder.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, older kids who are a bit more iOS savvy may quickly sniff out the \u201cHidden\u201d folder. My five-year-old, for example, knows exactly where I\u2019ve tucked away the Settings icon, but she doesn\u2019t really care\u2014probably because tapping Settings won\u2019t get her any closer to Curious George.<\/p>\n<h2>Turn on Airplane mode<\/h2>\n<p>One way to make sure your little one doesn\u2019t wander into a grown-up corner of the Internet on her iPhone is to cut off Internet access altogether, and the easiest way to do that is to turn on Airplane mode. (Of course, you can kiss Airplane mode goodbye once your children start clamoring for the streaming PBS Kids video app, which they\u2019ll do once they hit about 3 or so.)<\/p>\n<p>Just tap Settings, then flip on the Airplane Mode switch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11080\" src=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple6.jpg 400w, https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/apple6-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"large \">Turning on Airplane mode is an easy way to keep tiny iPhone users off the Internet.<\/h6>\n<p>If your old iPhone or iPad is running on iOS 6 or later, you may also want to disable home-screen and in-app access to Control Center, the flip-up control panel that includes an Airplane Mode button, To do so, tap <em>Settings &gt; Control Center<\/em>, then switch off the Access on Lock Screen and Access Within Apps settings. That won\u2019t completely disable Control Center, but at least it\u2019ll make it a tad more challenging to find.<\/p>\n<h4>Have questions?<\/h4>\n<p>Get answers\u00a0from\u00a0Microsofts Cloud Solutions Partner!<br \/>\nCall us at:\u00a0856-745-9990 or visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"South Jersey Techies Website\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Jersey Techies, LL C<\/a>\u00a0is a full\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies Managed Services\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Managed Web and Technology Services Company<\/a>\u00a0providing\u00a0IT Services,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Web Design\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/website_design.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website Design Services<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Server Support\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/server_install.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Server Support<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Network Consulting\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/network_consulting.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Network Consulting<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Internet Phones\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/voip.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internet Phones<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Cloud Solutions Provider\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/cloud.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cloud Solutions Provider<\/a>\u00a0and much more.<a title=\"South Jersey Techies: Contact\" href=\"http:\/\/southjerseytechies.net\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Contact for More<\/a>\u00a0Information.<\/p>\n<p>To read this article in its entirety\u00a0click here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 things to do before giving an old iPhone or iPad to your kid Don&#8217;t hand over an aging iOS device to your eager youngster before doing a little kid-proofing first.
