ScreenTime PIN helps to prevent children,

  • From accessing and changing ScreenTime settings on iOS
  • From disabling and deleting the ScreenCoach app


ScreenTime PIN is useful during these scenarios:

  1. Adding a Child who is not a part of your Apple Family
    1. ScreenTime PIN is particularly helpful when you need to monitor and manage a child's activities using ScreenCoach, but the child is not a part of your Apple Family. 
  2. When the Child's device is managed by an MDM (Mobile Device Management), provided by their School/Organisation


Please note that ScreenTime PIN is different from the ScreenCoach PIN.



Setting Up a ScreenTime PIN:  


  1. On the child's device:
    • Open Settings.
    • Go to Screen Time.
    • Scroll down and tap "Lock Screen Time Settings". 
    • Enter and re-enter a desired PIN to confirm. 
    • Note: It may prompt you to log in with your Apple ID (parent account) to enable the PIN.


Benefits of the ScreenTime PIN:

  • Once set, the child cannot disable or uninstall ScreenCoach without the PIN, providing an extra layer of control.
