What's up, everyone.
I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'll show you how to create an Apple ID for your child
on your iPhone or iPad.
If you want to get an iPhone or iPad for your child, the first thing you'll probably need
to do is set up an Apple ID for that child.
The best way to do this is by turning on Family Sharing on your Apple account, and then adding
that child to your family account.
Family Sharing lets you set screen time limits for your child, require your approval to download
apps, and more.
Setting up an Apple ID for your child only takes a few minutes.
But before we get into the steps to create an Apple ID for your child, I wanna let you
know that Apple's new AirTags are a great way to keep track of things you don't want
to lose.
The little trackers can easily be attached to a backpack, pets, purses, kids and more.
I'll put links you can use to check out Apple AirTags and AirTag holders on Amazon in this
video's description and pinned comment.
Now let's walk through the steps to create an Apple ID for your child.
Step 1.
Launch the "Settings" app on your iPhone or iPad, and then tap the area featuring your
profile picture and account name at the top of the menu.
The Apple ID screen is shown.
Step 2.
Tap "Family Sharing" in this menu.
The Family screen is shown.
Step 3.
Tap "Add Member."
A screen is displayed letting you know how many more people you can invite to your family.
Step 4.
Tap "Create an Account for a Child."
The Create a Child Account screen is shown, letting you know that this child will be a
part of your family until that child is at least 13 years old.
Tap "Continue."
A dialog box will appear asking you to provide your parental consent, either using Face ID
or your PIN code.
The Family Privacy Disclosure is displayed.
Tap "Agree" to agree to the disclosure.
The next screen prompts you to enter your child's name and birthday.
Step 5.
Enter your child's first and last name, and birthday.
It's important to enter this information correctly, as you won't be able to edit it.
Tap "Next" after entering this information.
The next screen prompts you to enter an email address for your child.
Note that if your child doesn't have an email address and you don't want to set one up for
them, you can tap "Don't have an email address" to proceed without using an email address.
Step 6.
Enter the email address you want to associate with your child's Apple ID, and then tap "Next."
A screen prompting you to enter a verification code to confirm the email address you used
is shown.
Step 7.
Enter the verification code received at that email address.
The next screen will ask you to enter a password for your child's Apple ID, and then verify
that password.
Step 8.
Enter the new password twice, and then tap "Next."
The next screen prompts you to either use your phone number to verify whenever your
child's account is used to sign into a new Apple device, or a different phone number.
Make your selection.
A Terms and Conditions screen is shown.
Step 9.
Review the Terms and Conditions, and then tap "Agree."
If a dialog box pops up asking you to agree to the terms and conditions again, tap "Agree"
again.
A screen is shown giving you an overview of the Ask to Buy and Location Sharing features
where you can turn those features on or choose to set them up manually.
Make your selection.
You'll be routed back to your Family screen, where you can see your new Apple ID child
account has been added.
Your child can now use their Apple ID to log into Apple devices.
