You can set up Screen Time for a child in your family group through Family Sharing. This includes downtime, allowances for app use, the contacts your child communicates with, content ratings, and more. Screen Time also lets you and your child see how they’re using their devices and use that information to structure their device use. To use Screen Time, your child must be using an eligible device. See the Screen Time section in the Apple Support article System Requirements for iCloud.
- Go to Settings > [ your name ] > Family Sharing > Screen Time.
- Tap the name of a child in your family group, tap Turn On Screen Time, then follow the onscreen instructions.
