When it comes to managing iOS devices, you're really only limited to things like mobile configuration
profiles and restrictions directly on the device to understand restrictions.
I'm going to demonstrate a few of the things that you can do directly, manually on your devices to
lock them down.
And then at a later lesson, we'll talk about how to manage these things with mobile configuration profiles.
So to get started with the restrictions, you need to go to settings now in settings you're going to
have, depending on the version of iOS that you've got, the iPhone using the most latest one, iOS
12 as of the time of this recording.
And they have moved restrictions into the screen time section here.
So depending on the version of iOS you're running, you may find restrictions in another area.
I think they were under security or privacy in the past, but here you'll see screen time and then on
any screen time, there's content and privacy restrictions.
And we're going to explore these settings here.
So you can see these are all great out when you first open up the content privacy restrictions panel.
So we're going to turn this on so that we can look at these a little bit more in depth.
So we'll just start here at the top, you can see we have options for installing apps, deleting apps
and allowing in app purchases and you can configure these individually.
You have the option here to allow and disallow some of the built in apps that are that are provided
by Apple, so, for example, you may not want camera or FaceTime and so you can just turn those off
and disable those options.
You can turn off Siri.
You can turn off podcast books, iTunes store podcasts, news, so a lot of the built in applications
I mentioned you can remove from there, there's also content restrictions.
So you may be providing this device to a student or a child and you want to go through and turn off
some of these different things.
So, for example, you may not want explicit lyrics or podcasts.
Same thing when it comes to movies as far as movie ratings go.
So there's a lot of things that you can play with in here to restrict access or filter content via the
Web game center or app store.
And related services have options down here for privacy as well that deal with things like location
services, GPS tracking, Bluetooth sharing, sharing your location, advertising.
And then there's other changes here that you may want just to provide.
Let's say you're giving these devices to students and you're handing these out to a group of students
in a classroom or something.
You may want to disallow their ability to change the passcode on the devices account changes.
You may want to limit the volume so that they can't update that.
So you do that.
So there's a lot of really cool things you can go in here and kind of play with, I'm not going to show
all of these, but this is basically where you would go in and set those things up manually on the device
so you could go in and set each of these up.
If you've got one or two devices, this might be easy.
If you've got tends to hundreds of devices, you're going to want to use mobile configuration profile
and profile manager or configurator to set these up in mass.
And we'll get into that later.
So that's where you go into just those I'm going go ahead and turn this off.
And in the next section, we'll talk a little bit more about screentime.
