[iphone] Apple parental control

[Jobos]

Asking for a friend. Their child has an iPhone and they would like to setup parental control to limit how long their daughter can use the phone but also remotely lock the phone when the daughter misbehaves. I’ve looked at the Apple parental control https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201304 but I couldn’t see anything about the remote lock so perhaps there is an app that would achieve this.

 

I have an iPhone and my daughter an android and I use a Google app on both phones called Family life and that works great.

Take a look at screen time. I don’t know what’s possible via local restrictions.

 

I think you’ll struggle with remote lock without an mdm or being aggressive with the iCloud lost feature.

Looked at screen time which is why I thought a 3rd party app would have remote lock.

Outside of an MDM I think screen time is the best you're going to get. I dont think Apple give third parties that level of control.

There are far better parental control apps than screen time, many of which are cross platform, I'd check this out...
