Cellular data in Control Center

My 93 year old dad who also has Alzheimer’s keeps accidentally turning off the cellular data on his phone. I assume he’s doing this through the Control Center. It’s a real problem. Is there any way to remove this from the Control Center?

Hey there tepperleen1,


We'd like to help by letting you know you can enable Screen Time restrictions on his iPhone to disable the ability to change cellular data changes. This can be done by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. You'd then enable it(if not already), then scroll down to Allow Changes > Cellular Data Changes.


To help as a reference, we want to also provide the article that shows more details about using Screen Time: Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Cheers!
