Set up iPad as music player ONLY for 12 year old daughter? - anonymouse1 - 05-20-2020

We want our daughter to be able to listen to music without seeing videos.

Any ideas on how to set up an iPad to do that?

Thanks!

Anon,

Just delete any video related apps and make sure they cannot be reinstalled. Or, switch to a device that is a music player only and give her headphones.

Guided access is your friend in this situation
