I moved her to an iPad because of the new parental controls coming with iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27. Apple has spent the past decade bolting on parental controls to iOS, piece by piece. That changes with iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27, which land later this year and bring a full rebuild of how Apple handles child safety – there’s even a dedicated website. If you’ve got a kid with an Apple device, or you’re about to hand one over, here’s what you should change straight away. None of these settings make a device foolproof, and no parental controls replace an actual conversation about what your child is doing online.
