What it does

Choose the highest age rating for media on the device. Content rated above it isn't available in the device's media apps.

Use it with App age ratings, so both apps and what's inside them fit your child's age.

What your child sees

Content above the rating simply isn't offered, or shows as restricted.

How eGuard checks it

The device reports the rating it's applying, and eGuard shows it as Verified only when it matches yours.

Questions about content restrictions

Does this filter YouTube or streaming apps?

It applies the device's own media ratings. For apps like YouTube, use App age ratings, App Approval and per-app time limits.
