iMore Question

Hi

Im looking at getting my teens an Iphone 6. I want to make sure they cant access innapropriate content.

A problem with Anroid phones is that most parental controls can be overidden by booting up in safe mode. When this is done everything is unrestricted on the phone.

I have been told iphones do not have safe mode, is that correct?

Is there a way the restrictions can be overidden via a safe mode type type feature?

Thanks Harry

Hello Harry,

You could go to Settings >General > Restrictions > Websites and turn off specific websites if your want to restrict your child from accessing inappropriate content.
Hope this helps!

Peace!
