How to change child restrictions on device

I set up restrictions on my son’s phone but want to change these as he’s now older (eg to allow whatsapp and Spotify). I can’t find where the restrictions are set, despite much searching and googling! How do I change them?


iPhone 7, iOS 14

Assuming the phone is using iOS13.4 or later:


  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap continue and follow the instructions. You probably are gonna need your parent passcode, your Apple ID password etc.
  3. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode, then turn on Content & Privacy.
  4. You should see all the available relevant options there.

Hope this helps.
