I have an android. How do i set up my child's apple phone?

Hello there cjkchamp,

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities!

As you don't have a personal iPhone, would you happen to have a personal iPad, iPod, or Mac to set up and manage an Apple ID for your child? This would be required as an Apple ID for a child would allow parents or guardians to set parental control restrictions as well as approve or deny purchase requests on an Apple device. If you have an Apple device, you would want to locate the steps within this resource: Create an Apple ID for your child

If you don't have access to an Apple device to manage their Apple ID, you may want to consider creating a personal Apple ID with parental controls enabled to restrict the content that you'd like. Check out the following steps for assistance with that, and you can locate additional information on parental controls here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Set Content & Privacy Restrictions

1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.

2. Tap Continue, then choose "This is My [Device]" or "This is My Child's [Device]."

• If you're the parent or guardian of your device and want to prevent another family member from changing your settings, tap Use Screen Time Passcode to create a passcode, then re-enter the passcode to confirm. In iOS 13.4 and later, after you confirm your passcode you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it. 

• If you're setting up Screen Time on your child's device, follow the prompts until you get to Parent Passcode and enter a passcode. Re-enter the passcode to confirm. In iOS 13.4 and later, after you confirm your passcode you'll be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. This can be used to reset your Screen Time passcode if you forget it. 

3. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode, then turn on Content & Privacy.

Make sure to choose a passcode that's different from the passcode that you use to unlock your device. To change or turn off the passcode on your child's device, tap Settings > Screen Time > [your child's name]. Then tap Change Screen Time Passcode or Turn Off Screen Time Passcode, and authenticate the change with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.

We hope this information is helpful with continuing the set-up of your child's iPhone.

Have a great day!
