How to check your child's Apple account age?

As you may already know, Apple doesn’t allow setting up parental controls for kids aged 18 and above. Parental control on a 18 year old may seem counterintuitive since legally they're considered adults. At this point, it's more about guiding and advising rather than controlling. However, if there are concerns about their online safety, enabling Mobicip is the right step.

This article explains how to view/update the age on your child’s Apple ID, to get past the screen shown below and continue setting up Mobicip. 

Steps:

1. Log in to your child’s Apple ID on the Apple Account page
2. Navigate to Personal Information > Birthday, and update the year of birth to set your child’s age below 17.

3. After a few minutes, check your child’s info under Family Sharing to confirm the age change. The child account should not be listed as ‘Adult’.

4. Next, close the Mobicip app from the background, reopen it, and proceed with the setup.
