iPhone Security Tip 6: Set Device Usage Restrictions
Though the iPhone has made some significant gains in recent days toward become a suitable business smartphone, its target user is still the consumer. And consumers come in all shapes, sizes...and ages.
IT administrators and parents with little iPhone users have the ability to set iPhone restrictions to, say, block explicit content from being shown on the iPhone's music or video player. And they can block access to YouTube and stop third-party applications from being installed.
Restrictions options can be located via the main iPhone Settings menu, within the General tab. Once you've clicked on Restrictions on that tab, you'll see a set of potential options beneath the words Enable Restrictions . Tap Enable Restrictions , enter in a four-digit code and then select the specific constraints you wish to impose by hitting the On/Off button next to each option.
Selecting the iPod Explicit option, blocks the user's ability to sync any iTunes content that's branded "explicit" by Apple. If you disable Safari, block YouTube and iTunes, or say no to installing apps or using the gadget's camera, the phone user will not be able to access any of these functions until a passcode is reentered and the restrictions lifted.
