Anti-Tampering for iPhone and iPad

Learn how to enable Anti-Tampering on your child’s iPhone or iPad

Anti-Tampering helps prevent your child from removing the Young Minds Kids app or turning off its protection. Once Anti-Tampering is enabled, you can also use additional iOS Settings to manage app access, purchases, content restrictions and other controls on your child’s iPhone or iPad. Learn more about iOS Settings.

Setup usually takes 7-15 minutes.You’ll need:

  • Your child’s iPhone or iPad
  • A Mac or Windows computer
  • A USB cable to connect the device to your computer

Before you begin

Before you start, make sure the Young Minds Kids app is installed on your child’s device and paired with the correct child in the Young Minds Parent app.

We recommend completing the setup at home. If you’re away from a familiar location, Apple may apply a Security Delay, which can require you to wait for up to one hour before continuing.

Note: The screens may look slightly different depending on the iOS or iPadOS version installed, but the steps are the same.

Recommended: Back up your child’s device

We recommend making a backup before you begin. This is optional, but gives you an up-to-date copy of the device’s data if you need it.

You can use iCloud, your Windows PC or Mac to back up the device.
