With Screen Time, parents can impose restrictions on what their child can do with their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. For instance, after setting up my nephew's iPad with his favorite apps, I then disabled the ability for him to delete or download them from the App Store.

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to do that on your iOS device to prevent accidental app deletions or stop people from downloading new apps.
