Parental lock: keep sensitive categories protected with a PIN

When one device is shared across a household, not every category should be one tap away for every family member. Parental lock adds a PIN gate in front of the categories you choose, so access stays under your control.

How to set up parental lock

1. 1

   Open Settings and find the Parental Lock section.

2. 2

   Set a PIN that only you know.

3. 3

   Choose which categories or sections require the PIN to open.

4. 4

   From then on, anyone opening a protected category is asked for the PIN first.

Why it matters

• Share one phone or tablet across the whole family with sensitive content still protected.
• You choose exactly which categories are locked — nothing is restricted by default.
• The PIN lives only on your device; it is never sent anywhere.
• Quick to set up once, and it keeps working every time the app is used.

A simple PIN goes a long way toward making one shared device feel safe for everyone.
