Lock phone at nightime how can we?
We need to lock a phone for our young person on smarty mobile contract £10 per month at present we need to lock her using it during night time- can anybody help? - can we do this?
Hi,
Is this an Android phone? You could use something like Google Family Link which is a parental controls service available for free by Google. You could use it just for locking the phone, but also to restrict / block certain apps, YouTube, search settings etc.
If it's an iPhone you could use Screen Time to lock the phone and/or restrict other features.
Hope this helps! :)
Thankyou and yes its an iPhone the difficulty is getting her to hand the phone in during the night
William_2663920 You can set a Screen Time with a separate password in the Settings on the iPhone.
Alternatively, if she won't hand it over when requested, remove it permanently as you are ultimately in charge as a parent.
