[Tutorial] How To Set Up Parental Controls On Your Apple TV

If you are afraid that your children may see some content that is not appropriate for them or you simply want to limit their access on certain services on Apple TV you should be using Parental Control already integrated within Apple TV. In this tutorial I will show you how to setup Parental Control and add a pass code which will be asked every time someone tries to access blacked content/service.


To get started follow steps below

Step 1: Go to Apple TV main menu and then choose Settings and from dropdown menu choose General

Step 2: Then scroll down and select Parental Controls
