Q: Can Restrictions on iOS be scheduled?

I currently remove iOS devices from my kid's room at night (so he doesn't stay up talking with friends, or using them to coordinate mischief). However, I'd rather have him use an iOS device for an alarm. I'm wondering if there's a similar feature to Parental Controls on the desktop. The best possible case would be to limit app use by schedule.

 

Any ideas?

iPad 2, iOS 9.3.5

    Not natively, no. You could look to see if there is an app, or perhaps look into some sort of parental control for your router,, perhaps a net nanny program that cuts off access to the internet for certain devices during certain hours.

     

    A very low tech solution (which is an all or nothing thing) would be to unplug your wifi router. However that would also mean that you can't use it, so it may work but likely not practical
