Platform capabilities: Apple parental controls and Google Family Link requirements.
Different rules do different jobs.
Device rules control when apps are available and what can be installed or accessed. Account rules shape an experience such as Google Search or YouTube. A family agreement explains why the rules exist and how exceptions work.
Family Link cannot supervise a child’s iPhone or iPad. Installing it on a parent’s iPhone is not the same as supervising the child’s iPhone. Start with Apple’s controls for that device. See the device limitations and supported account controls.
TenMore is another time-boundary tool for Apple families—not a replacement for content or purchase restrictions. Extra time in TenMore does not override Apple’s limits. Set up TenMore and try a simple family agreement.
No combination of settings guarantees that every video, website, or interaction is appropriate. Test the actual devices, accounts, apps, and browsers your child uses, and revisit the plan as their needs change.

Prepared with AI assistance and checked against official Apple and Google guidance. Each detailed guide links its sources and separates platform instructions from our suggested checks. The Apple, Google, and YouTube guides do not require TenMore, and these guides do not claim that every setting has been tested on every device.
