IPhone restrictions: what they are and how to use them

Le restrizioni allow you to block the use of specific functions and certain applications on ours iPhone. For example, thanks to them we can prevent you from making purchases with our Apple account, both on the App Store and on iTunes. Or we can disable interactions with Siri or even internet access via the Safari lock. These restrictions, therefore, are very useful when we want to enable a control for unwanted actions.

Thanks to this feature, we will be able to keep our smartphone safe from children or malicious persons.

How to activate restrictions

Apple gives us the ability to block numerous functions, so that we can better control our smartphone. To activate them, just follow a very simple procedure, made up of a few easy steps.

1. We open the Settings;
2. We select the item Generali;
3. We select the item Restrictions;
4. In the new screen we select the option Enable restriction;
5. At this point we create a code to protect restrictions;
6. We confirm the code you just entered.

Once this is done we can decide which restrictions to enable. We can decide to disable internet browsing through Safari, access to the camera or interactions with Siri. For example, if we want to completely disable the ability to make purchases, we need to disable the iTunes Store, iBook Store, App Install and In-App Purchases.

to enable the restriction on a certain function, just set the Toggle su off to the relevant item.

In the same screen we can also decide to limit content according to the country, to block applications and films in relation to the age limits they impose. We can also decide to allow changes to the location, cash, calendar, photos and microphone.

Conclusions

Restrictions allow us to have more control over our device. In this way we will be able to block certain functions and set a kind of "parental control". We also recommend creating a code other than the one we use to unlock the smartphone. By setting a different code, an attacker will not be able to access the functions enabled by the restrictions.

If the code is lost, we will need to reset the device so that we can remove it.
