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:
- Adding a Child who is not a part of your Apple Family
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- Open Settings.
Benefits of the ScreenTime PIN:
- Once set, the child cannot disable or uninstall ScreenCoach without the PIN, providing an extra layer of control.
