How can I choose which apps are allowed on a device?

All device modes allow you to choose which apps should be allowed on your kids' devices, but they do so slightly differently.

All modes support controlling the following:

• Browsers
  • In all modes, you can decide to remove web/internet browsers (including Safari). This will hide them entirely. Learn more about removing browsers.
• Camera
  • In all modes, you can decide to allow the camera or not.
• App Store
  • In all modes, you can decide to remove the App Store or not.

Dumb Phone mode allows you to control:

• Allowed Apple apps
  • Select from a list of default Apple apps (like FaceTime, Maps, Weather, and Calculator) to allow on the device. This will remove all other Apple apps, hiding them entirely. Learn more about choosing Apple apps to allow.
• Other allowed apps
  • You can allow other apps in Dumb Phone mode as well. The way to do it is to delete or block the remaining apps.

Screen Trainer mode allows you to control:

• Apps with no time limit
  • These apps will always be available and will not count towards daily usage time limits. Learn more about apps with no time limit.
• App limits
  • You can specify certain apps or app categories to have different time allowances than a kid's overall daily limits. You can even specify 0min (i.e. zero minutes) to block usage entirely. Learn more about app limits.
