Is there a kid mode on iPhone?

Is there a kid mode on iPhone? Apple gives you Guided Access, which pins the phone to one app. SimpleSentinel adds Kid Mode, which is the fuller version.

Turn Kid Mode on and your own iPhone follows that child's rules: the apps you allow stay open, the rest stay closed, their web rules come along, and only your Face ID or passcode turns it off. You hand over the phone, not one app.

One price, unlimited children and devices. 7-day free trial, billed by Apple.

The short version

✓ Kid Mode

Turn "Kid Mode" on and your own iPhone follows that child's rules: what you allow stays open, what you don't stays closed. Only your Face ID or passcode turns it off.

✓ One device, multiple children

Share one device between children. Each signs in with their own four-digit code and gets their own settings to access what you allow and close what you don't; Web browsing included. Their own chores are there too. Set the device down and it locks itself after a few minutes; wrong-code attempts reach you.

✓ Web filtering with a list you control

Allow the web freely, limit adult sites, allow only sites you approve, or block it entirely, with your own allow and block lists. Under a restricted mode SimpleSentinel also switches Siri off on the child's device, closing a commonly overlooked back door to the Web.

What still works during a lock

Calls to and from you keep working. Apple keeps the Phone app reachable no matter what. Your emergency alarm and a No Ignore message still reach the screen. A pause stays until you lift it, through restarts and through a scheduled downtime window. SimpleSentinel never reads what your child types, watches or browses.
