Hidden Apple Feature Turns iPhone into Perfect Kids Dumb Phone

Buried Apple Feature Turns an iPhone into the Perfect Kids' Dumb Phone

I discovered that Apple's Assistive Access, designed for cognitive disabilities, is the ultimate solution for a child's first phone. By using this buried feature, I created a stripped-back interface with only six essential apps, completely blocking internet browsers while keeping navigation and tracking active. Unlike paid third-party apps or standard Screen Time restrictions, this free tool offers a secure, customizable environment that cannot be bypassed by children.

"My head can't fathom the logic of paying for things to be taken away from a phone."
