With Apple’s Screen Time feature, you can prevent your child from being able to uninstall the Bitdefender Parental Control app on their iPhone or iPad. Additionally, remember to communicate with your child about the reasons behind these restrictions and set appropriate boundaries.
1. Set up Screen Time
On your child’s iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > “Screen Time”.
2. Set a Screen Time passcode
To prevent your child from changing the Screen Time settings, set up a passcode different from the device passcode. In the Screen Time settings, select “Lock Screen Time Settings” (“Use Screen Time Passcode” on previous iOS versions) then input a passcode.
- If you see “Change Screen Time Passcode” instead, it means you’ve already set one up.
ⓘ Your child may still be able to delete apps if they know the Screen Time passcode. Make sure to keep it secure!
3. Set Content & Privacy Restrictions
Go back to the Screen Time settings, tap “Content & Privacy Restrictions” and turn it on. You’ll need to enter the Screen Time passcode you set up earlier.
4. Restrict app deletion
Tap “iTunes & App Store Purchases” > “Deleting Apps” > choose “Don’t Allow” to prevent iOS apps from being removed.
