I agree totally... 1st apple tv loving it for me and the wife. But parental support for restrictions for my 3 children not very well thought out. Family movie night browsing movies selections don't want see MILF or the blood covered movie title and the other inappropriate titles while looking at new arrivals looking for Disney movies or other G,PG, PG-13. Something should be done ASAP.? I love what apple has been offering for the devices but more control over them in the user hands would be more appreciated then these devices could be in every childs room... IJMS
4. Configure your new profile with whatever name you like, and a different "sign-in" name than your normal account. This is where you can set the profile to only allow certain content ratings. Set them up as you see fit. Click "Save."
5. Go back to your AppleTV. Logout of the current Netflix account, and log back in using the Account Profile sign-in ID you created on the Netflix web site. Yes, I know AppleTV says to put in your email address, but just put in the Account Profile sign-in instead.
It's working for me. I have my AppleTV set to login under a profile with parental controls, not the main account login. I just checked it again just now, and it's working fine. Maybe it's something with your account?
Ok, I should clarify... streaming to a computer or streaming to a Wii will not work unless you are logged into your main profile (Owner Profile). I am not completely sure about AppleTV, however, based on my conversations with Netflix support, they said that any kind of online streaming from Netflix must be done through the main (owner) account due to agreements between Netflix and the media companies providing the content.
apple please create a way to remove everything like search/genre/suggestion/tv shows and leave only instant queue and just for kids. There are so many familes with kids dont want there kids to access anything above pg
netflix start with 500 queue which was great 500 titles 250 kids 250 adult , apple need to add netflix setting to disable the search/ genre and when is off we get instant queue / just for kids two links.
I have been experiencing network issues with my Netflix steaming. So the parental controls are interfering with the streaming of Netflix TVs/Devices and i have to reboot the TPLink WIFI router at every restart of devices.
Netflix support cant resolve this issue and they have advised that its as problem from my network service provider, My internet service provider also thinks it is the problem of the Router manufacturer.
From reboots to originals, Netflix is full of entertainment for kids. Of course, it also has tons of age-inappropriate shows that kids could easily stumble across. The good news is that Netflix allows parents to restrict access to mature content so kids can only watch shows geared for their age. To enable parental controls on Netflix, you first have to create a user profile for your kid.
You can set a few parental controls through the Netflix app, but you get more options by going through your account on a web browser. Parental controls are just one way to help your kid learn to make appropriate choices and manage screen time independently. They work best with conversation about why you're restricting access.
An individual passcode ensures that each person in the household can only access their account. It prevents kids from accessing parents' profiles or siblings from watching each other's shows. You can also change your kid's passcode if you don't want them accessing their account at all.
Do you need parental controls? What are the options? Do they really work? Here's everything you need to know about the wide array of parental control solutions, from OS settings to monitoring apps to network hardware.
It also refuses to work on his phone anymore at all, stating it needs updating even though it is already up to date, and again, wont let me block things he has installed and shows me this generic list.
Does anyone know a decent work around way to fix this? The how to ont he website is for the old parental controls, so thats useless. Honestly they should just roll it back it worked much better before.
The functionality to block applications no longer exists, it has been replaced by the ability to block a specific topic (eg: if you block the netflix topic, everything related to netflix, whether it's a website, whether it's a separate app, whatever, will be blocked). Now, in the new Parental Control you have 3 ways to block something: website (www.netflix.com), topic (what I said above) or category (ex: video) and any site/topic that has video will be blocked.
I have been Incredibly frustrated with this parental control downgrade, just now I realized an app that I had previously thought I had blocked, is still being accessed a few minutes every day, meaning this "topic block" has absolutely no weight at all.
@Alexandru_BD Would you explain in detail how this works? because, by your example, a child does not search for netflix in google and if the topic is blocked he can't access netflix and that's it. a child, opens the netflix app. and that is what should be able to be controlled.
I have probably had to do 20-25 re-installations and re-logins (of automatically "update-logged out" devices) since this upgrade was rolled out. I now also see that the content filtering is not working with common programs/apps like payments in Steam and for using the banking app "Revolut
I completely agree with @Empowered that this is a serious downgrade. We are the paying customers, and you are the admin, and you should acknowledge our feedback rather than dismissing or disagreeing with it. The guides that you are referencing talk about how the functionality "is supposed to work" but as of now it does not work like that. In addition, it's not just change, it's that things that used to work do not work. That will never be considered progress.
I agree with @TeenParent I have my own complaint ticket with Bitdefender, all the "magnificent" features that were touted in the arbitrary downgrade notification we got, are just watered down versions of what we had before (that wasn't even that great to begin with), and no ammount of gaslighting can hide that fact now.
Is there anyway to customize the ads you see on the home screen? I'm getting ads for Rap Sh!t right now and I really don't want profanity on the TV my kids are using. I know this is how they make their money but it isn't a show anyone in the house is interested in or remotely close to anything I ever watch. Does roku give you any way to customize or parental controls for the ads being shown?
According to Roku Support, Roku devices do not offer a global parental control setting to restrict access to content across all streaming channels. However, you can configure access limits based on ratings in certain situations.
BTW, Roku does not manufacture the TVs themselves (assuming you have a RokuTV). They just furnish the integrated RokuOS system and license it to an actual TV manufacturer. Therefore, you could contact the TV manufacturer. What brand is your RokuTV set?
I came here to ask the same question after seeing the same ad. I use a Roku Ultra and the ad appears on the Roku Home Screen. We should have the option to filter out inappropriate content on the home screen ads.
My TV is a TCL but this isn't coming from the TV it's the roku home screen on it. I'm not looking for a global control to police what's onside the apps I understand that what I'm asking for is the ability to control what ads Roku is showing me on the roku home menu.
Found this and similar threads after having a preview for "Murder House Flip" shoved in front of us during the lunch hour, and was doubly insulted when logging into the website and seeing an even more graphic advert for the same program! Far be it from me to judge those who enjoy the True Crime genre, but this household doesn't want to be a part of the glorification of the worst parts of humanity.
It is a puzzlement that this sort of control doesn't already exist on ROKU. At the movie theater, the trailers are now matched to the MPAA rating of the film they precede. Netflix parental controls have the option of excluding specific titles....while that's a lot of effort to manage, it's something we've learned to work with. Point being, this technology/feature does exist elsewhere.
At the very least, it would be nice to have some kind of control that extends filters on actual content advertisements/previews, so for example if I choose to restrict the actual viewing of TV-MA content, then I won't receive any ads/previews for any TV-MA programs.
Netflix supports having multiple profiles per account. Each profile has its own content settings available. To easily change parental controls, visit the Netflix website on a laptop or desktop computer.
Great work! Your Netflix account should now have parental controls applied. If you would like to block Netflix on a device, you can do so by getting an affordable Pro Surfer subscription on the Safe Surfer dashboard and installing the Safe Surfer app.
This past Christmas I gifted my girls smartphones and they each got their own Kindle Fire. They are 9. They are good girls, and they deserve them. During my time setting up the devices, etc. I tried out quite a few parental controls. On SocialMoms.com I posted recently about some things that you need to remember when you gift a device to your child. After some turmoil I got the phones locked down just right. The Kindle Fires are done, but not perfectly.
