question related to Parental Controls where we have had challenges: is it possible to disable usage of a hotspot on your child's device? I mean disable it so that he cannot simply go in and re-enable without me entering a password. Kids are sneaky

Hello Jenny_girl77,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about disabling the HotSpot.
Yes, it may be possible. Check in: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Cheers.
Hi Eric- unfortunately that does not work. For
some reason the hotspot usage doesn’t get lumped into the same category as regular cellular data. Even when I’ve disabled allowing cellular changes, he can still access the hotspot.
Hello Jenny_girl77,
Thanks for testing this. Since none of the settings seem to block this, then the only option available now is to ask for changes in the upcoming iOS versions:
Cheers.
