The option to turn off “location services” for my child’s mobile phone is not available in “contents & restrictions” following my upgrade to IOS 17. This allows my child to turn off location services when she doesn’t want her movements to be monitored. Please help!
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17
Hello drey39,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities!
This page shows what to select when wanting to keep Share My Location from being changed.
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
To allow changes to privacy settings:
1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. If asked, enter your passcode.
3. Under Privacy, tap the setting that you want to change.
Here are the things you can restrict:
• Share My Location: Lock the settings for location sharing in Messages and Find My Friends
If you're not seeing the correct options for restrictions, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support to look in to that and see what may be happening.
