Mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad are playing an increasingly important role as toys for the young (and not so young). Games now have little to envy those of classic video consoles, and applications for streaming multimedia content such as YouTube or Netflix are used by children as if they were born with an iPhone under their arm.
That children learn to use new technologies is positive, even if it is for their entertainment. But just as important as learning to handle new technologies is that they learn to do it rationally, and setting certain limits is very necessary. Today we explain how to establish time limits in the use of applications without the need for any third-party application, using the very tools that iOS offers us, and with the arrival of Fortnite it will be very necessary for many.
Accessibility options are the great unknowns of iOS, and it offers very interesting functions for many. One of them is guided access, which allows you to set limits when you use an application. You can deactivate the screen so that it does not respond when you touch it, you can disable the volume keys, or what concerns us today in this article: you can set time limits. As simple as activating it within the system settings and when you are using the application in question, press the home button three times (side on the iPhone X). You must then select the options (if it is the first time you do it) and you can set the time you can use the application.
While Guided Access is active within the application, the user will not be able to leave it, something also really useful to prevent him from touching where he should not. To deactivate it, just press the side button twice (using Face ID) or three times (using the access code) and everything will return to normal. Maybe many of us have to set this limit for ourselves.
Very interesting, thank you very much for the information.
