Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My 2 yr old son have an iPad Mini 1 on iOS 8.1.3, at night when all night are closed he uses this iPad with full brightness that worries me if his eyes are getting effected / weak.
i was wondering if their is some sort of app or restriction which have the feature of locking the brightness section from both (Settings & control Panel) so that i can set the brightness and he doesn't able to change it.
iPad Mini, iOS 8.1.3
Go to Settings- > Control Center.
Turn off Access on lock screen.
Turn Off Access with in apps.
This way you can avoid your kid accessing brightness adjustment from lock screen and with in apps.
After turning off the above the 2 settings, the control center will be accessible only from home screen.
This way you can control to some extent. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I realize now that I was in "Dutch uncle" mode when I made the above comments two years ago and want to apologize for any offense they gave.
If you want Apple to do something about it try giving them feedback. Product Feedback - Apple
Well, in Settings > Display & Brightness, turn off Auto Brightness and set it low. If he knows enough to change that setting, well....!!!
How about looking for some picture story books and reading to him until he gets sleepy?

Ipad is use by kid in school all the time and also for my son that is autist he does't understand when to stop, we use this device for make him communicate and also he enjoys playing with games.
Apple should and would put restriction on their device since there a lot of kid that play with this.
<Edited by Host>Well that was a troll reply. I have the same question regarding my 12 year old autistic child. If you can't help because you don't have the knowledge, don't try and criticize someone's parenting to cover your lack of knowledge.
Instead of looking for technical fixes, you should be thinking is it a good thing for a 2-year-old to be playing with such a gadget. You are correct about it being bad for his eyes. Consider getting a more suitable toy for your little boy.

i tried to hide the iPad but its no use he keep on asking for it . he have all the game and poem and playing stuff in it , he's quite happy with his iPad. now what I'm worried is only the brightness to be on lower side. i have though and getting a some sort of dark glass protector which might make screen bit dimmer , my first priority is if i can find any app solution or any iOS builtin restriction which fulfill the requirement.
