Setting up iPad for kids - that's family sharing

If you want to enable your kids to have their own iPad, then you can set it up specially. With the help of family sharing, it is possible to create an Apple ID for children under the age of 13. Then, other features, such as iCloud and iMessage, can be enabled.

How to set up an iPad for your kids

In order to be able to set up the iPad for your kids, you need an Apple ID. This is only possible for children under the age of 13 if the family organizer gives their verifiable parental consent.

1. First, it is important to verify your payment method.
2. It is also necessary to confirm your parental consent via a card verification number or other security code.
3. Now to create an Apple ID, go to "Settings" on an Apple device of your choice, then go to your profile name.
4. Now select "Family Sharing" > "Add Family Member."
5. In the next step, tap "Create an account for a child" and tap "Next." For older iOS versions, this is done via "Settings" > "iCloud" > "Family".
6. Follow the instructions to provide your child's information and complete the process.
7. Make sure to check the "Purchase Request" item. So werden Sie immer darüber informiert, falls ein Kauf getätigt wird und Sie müssen hierfür Ihre Zustimmung geben.
8. Tippen Sie abschließend auf „Akzeptieren“, um das iPad für Ihr Kind zugänglich zu machen.
