Parental control is a feature on iPhone and iPad devices that lets parents block and limit access to certain apps and features on their kids' phones. As a result, children can access and use only those apps and features that are allowed by their parents.

The following are some parental control features:

• 1Help prevent any purchases from the app store and iTunes.
• 2Set the content and privacy settings to limit what kids can access and watch.
• 3Prevent children from changing settings on iPhone.
• 4Limit or block Siri web searches.
• 5Block movies and videos based on their ratings.
• 6Block the playing of music with adult content.

However, what if you wish to turn off this parental control because your child has grown up, or you want to sell your device? Fortunately, there are many ways to take off parental controls on iPhone. Next let's have a look at them one by one!

Part 2.How to Remove Parental Controls on iPhone With Passcode?

The first method is suitable for those users who know and remember the parental control passcode, which was set up when they enabled this feature. In this case, all you have to do is change some settings within your mobile phone, and you are good to go.

1. For iOS 12 and Later Versions

• Step 1. Open Settings on your iPhone. Tap on Screen Time.
• Step 2. Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Turn Off Screen Time.
