PARENTAL CONTROLS & CONTENT FILTERS

Parental controls are software settings or hardware devices that can be purchased to protect your family from unauthorized access. When it comes to the safety of our families, our #1 goal is to be the gatekeepers of our homes.

iPhone Safety – iPhones have built-In safety features that many parents can activate by going to “Settings” and then find “Screen Time” or “Restrictions” (depending on version). From here, you can disable a variety of apps and online accessibility.
