The parental control feature may be useful even to those people who do not have children. Why? Cover in this article.
Parental control, which is not so long ago appeared in iOS, was useful not only for those who have children. She has a few more interesting applications that can help to protect yourself from impulse purchases, protect your device from theft and discipline yourself. To learn how to do it, I'll tell you below.
All of the following options are in the menu "Settings» → «Basic» → «Restrictions».
impulsive purchases
It often happens that I see an overview of the application or output interesting music album and did not hesitate to buy it. Such applications have accumulated quite a lot of albums - a little less. To save yourself from impulse purchases, you can set limits for the installation of applications.
Uncheck "Install software" and "Built-in purchase." Do not worry, after they disappear off the App Store, and to turn it back on, you must enter your password. It just gives enough time to think about a few times if you need this app, album or movie.
How to protect against theft of the gadget
Service "Find iPhone» with iCloud-lock make stolen gadget almost brick. They can not be used, it is impossible to flash and, moreover, if it is the Internet, you can even keep track of it. However, here lies a small snag.
Clever thieves immediately disable geolocation services, and even if you set the "Find iPhone» (if not, be sure to set), you will not be able to track the device.
Deny GPS trip can also "limited". In addition, it is also possible to prohibit change of user accounts, and then the thief will not be able to remove your Apple ID. Maximum protection against theft!
Discipline yourself
If you can not help but constantly prokrastiniruete on recreational resources instead of working, you can block all non-business sites. Do it yourself inefficient, because you can unlock them as easily as the lock. Therefore, in this case I would recommend to ask a friend or family member you restrict access to these sites and remember your password.
Pretty brutal and useless measure, however, if other methods do not help, then why not?
