On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Screen Time. 2. Tap Turn On Screen Time. 3. Tap Continue. 4. Select This is My [device] or This is My Child's [device]. You can now get a report about how you use your device, apps, and websites, any time you want.

After you set up your child’s device, you can also use Family Sharing to view reports and adjust settings any time, right from your own device. With Screen Time you can also create a dedicated passcode to secure settings, so only you can extend time or make changes.

WWW.MJFISHERGROUP.COM UPDATED 1/2019 SET UP FAMILY SHARING Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share iTunes, Apple Books, and App Store purchases, an Apple Music family subscription, and an iCloud storage plan, without sharing accounts. When the family organizer turns on purchase sharing, you can pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. Family Sharing also lets you share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected. STARTING A FAMILY GROUP One adult in the family—the family organizer—can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If you turn on purchase sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. 1. Go to Settings > [your name]. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud. 2. Tap Set Up Family Sharing, then tap Get Started. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members. 3. If you’re using iOS 11 or later, choose the first feature you’d like to share with your family.

INVITE FAMILY MEMBERS As long as you both use iOS 8 and later or OS X Yosemite and later, you can add anyone who has an Apple ID to your family. Use the steps below to create an Apple ID for your child, then add them to your family group. After you add your child to your family group, they will have their own Apple ID that they can use on any Apple device. Your email address is the rescue email address for your child’s account, and you can use it with the security questions you provided to reset a forgotten password. FYI: If the child already has a Game Center account, but not an Apple ID, you don't need to create a new account for them. Just search for their nickname instead. 1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing > Add Family Member > Create a Child Account > Next. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud > Family. 2. Enter your child's birthday and tap Next. Be sure to enter the correct date. 3. Review the Parent Privacy Disclosure and tap Agree. 4.

If you need to resend the invitation, select Resend Invitation. TURN ON ASK TO BUY With Ask to Buy and Family Sharing, whenever a child initiates a new purchase or free download, a request goes to the family organizer. The organizer can review the item and approve the purchase or decline the request right from their own iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. For example, this could be a request for items in the iTunes, Apple Books, or App Store, In-App Purchases, or iCloud storage. If the family organizer approves the purchase, the content downloads automatically to their family member’s device. If they decline, no purchase or download will take place. The family organizer can turn on Ask to Buy for any family member who isn't an adult. It's on by default for any children under 13, and you'll be asked to set up Ask to Buy when inviting anyone under 18 to your family group.* WWW.MJFISHERGROUP.COM UPDATED 1/2019 Use these steps to turn Ask to Buy on or off for family members who are under 18* in your family group. If you turn off Ask to Buy for a family member after they turn 18,* you can't turn it on again. 1. Go to Settings > [your name] and tap Family Sharing. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud and tap Family. 2. Tap your family member's name. 3. Tap Ask to Buy. APPROVE OR DECLINE A PURCHASE If you're the organizer, you can use these steps to make or decline the purchase from your iOS device or Mac: 1. Open the notification to see the item that your family member wants to get. 2. Approve or decline the purchase. 3. If you approve, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and password to make the purchase. After the item's purchased, it's added to your child’s account and shared with the rest of the family group. If your child downloads a previous purchase again, downloads a shared purchase, installs an update, or uses a redemption code in the store, you won't get a notification. If you decline the request or don't make the purchase, it will be deleted after 24 hours, and the child will need to make the request again. If you’d like to designate another person in your group the ability to approve or decline requests follow these steps: Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing, tap your family member, then tap Parent/Guardian. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to Settings > iCloud > Family. SET CONTENT & PRIVACY RESTRICTIONS 1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time. 2. Tap Continue, then choose "This is My [Device]" or "This is My Child's [Device]." 3. If you're the parent or guardian of your device and want to prevent another family member from changing your settings, tap Use Screen Time Passcode to create a passcode. Then re-enter the passcode to confirm. 4. If you're setting up Screen Time on your child's device, follow the prompts until you get to Parent Passcode and enter a passcode.
