Digital Safety tips: Getting a new phone

Getting a new phone might be questioned by an adult. This might be because you don’t want your child sitting at the phone for 5 or 6 hours a day. This issue can be fixed by screen time limits, like Microsoft Family Safety and the integrated Apple screen time limiter. Other issues might include adult content, which is automatically blocked by your WiFi provider. Also, you might worry about your child joining random WhatsApp groups, but you could make a child account for WhatsApp so you can see what they are up to. If you don’t want your kid to play mobile games, you can set their Apple ID so they can’t download apps by themselves. This is very easy to set up, and getting a phone for your child is much easier than you think.
