Setting up a new iPhone or iPad for a child is easiest when Family Sharing is in place and both devices are running the latest software. Quick Start automatically applies all important parental controls, eliminating the need to manually configure each step. This ensures a clean setup and clear security standards from the start.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Sharing offers not only shared purchases and subscriptions, but also reliable tools for protecting children. Quick Start creates a streamlined process that automatically applies the appropriate settings, saving time. These benefits are especially noticeable when a new device is configured within an existing Family Sharing group, as the familiar restrictions are automatically in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements for setup via Quick Start<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For quick start, both your own device and your child's new device must be running iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later. Only then can parental controls be transferred automatically. If either device is still running iOS 15 or earlier, manual setup is the only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing the new device<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The new device is switched on and swiped upwards to unlock it. Next, the country or region and language are selected. Once this basic step is completed, Quick Start can begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start a quick start with your own device<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As soon as your device is near the new child's device, the "Configure new device" card will appear on your device. Simply tap "Continue" to start the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An animation will then appear on the new device. This is captured by your device's camera by centering the animation in the viewfinder. This confirms the connection between the two devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting the child within Family Sharing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After connecting, a selection appears showing who will use the new device. All children under 13 who are already added to Family Sharing are displayed. If the child is not yet listed, a new child account can be created here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Start then guides you through the entire setup process. If the device is being set up for a child who is already part of Family Sharing, existing parental controls can be automatically applied. These include screen time, content filters, and any defined restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a new child account is created, the child's Apple account is created first. Then, the preferred parental controls can be set up to ensure the device is set up securely and age-appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Sharing: Quickly and safely get your child's device ready to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Family Sharing and Quick Start, setting up a new iPhone or iPad for a child is clear and straightforward. All parental controls can be applied or created without any extra effort. This ensures a smooth start and guarantees that the device has the appropriate parental controls from the beginning.
