Protect Your iPhone


3. Use the password protection features on the device.
A friend of my once told me that her 6 year old son figured out how to purchase apps from the App Store. I do not remember the amount of money spent, but this is never a good thing. Your child will find a way to buy something over time, the technology is so intuitive. There are two ways to implement parental controls on an iPhone, using the password function, or activation of restrictions.

Access Code: If your worried about your child slip with your phone, a good way to prevent the use is a key feature of access they basically asked for a password to access the phone. To activate the code on the iPhone tap Settings> Passcode Lock> On access code. You will be prompted to enter a 4 digit code and then re-enter it for verification. Once activated, no one will be able to turn the device without having to enter the access code first. This alone protects who has access to the phone, not how a person uses their phone.

Enabling Restrictions: If your child is concerned for your purchase / remove applications or surf the Internet, the role of restrictions on the iPhone essentially "hidden" those capabilities. To activate the touch restriction settings> Activate restrictions. You will be prompted to enter a 4 digit code and then re-enter it for verification. After your access code is accepted you will see a list of features you can switch off. If you want to disable the ability to install applications, for example, search for "Installing applications" on the list and push the button "on" to "off". Actually, this hides the AppStore application, that no application can be downloaded. This can be a bit cumbersome for yourself, because you have to go back and enable the functions to use them again.

4. Use your head.
Johnny let out in the backyard with your cell phone is probably not the wisest idea. Just let your child play with the phone in a situation where you can monitor. You'll save yourself from this terrible panic of not knowing where the phone, or in what condition may or may not be in. You should check on Johnny, of course, he is a most important species.
