Family sharing parental control reset

Is there a way to stop parental controls from resetting? This has happened three times 2 I caught 1 resulted in unauthorized purchases by a 12 year old.


2nd question how do you stop a recurring subscription? The subscription doesn’t show on my phone or my child’s. Apple call center could not help.

You should pay attention to two commonly overlooked aspects...


  1. Configuring device restrictions for your child's device.
  2. Setting up a screen time passcode on your own device for your child.
