An added benefit is that conversation partners on Snapchat are notified that the chat is monitored, so they'll be on their best behavior:
- Conversation partners are warned that your child's screen is being recorded
Video streaming apps that exclusively show copyrighted content aren't supported since Apple doesn't allow screen recording of those apps. This mainly affects the following apps:
- Disney Plus
- Netflix
If your child's device uses one of these apps, you should do the following:
- Add Disney+ to your Screen Time always allowed list so that screen recording isn't required to use it.
- Make sure that the Disney+ app has parental controls enabled so you can restrict access to inappropriate content. See our guide on setting up parental controls on Disney plus for more info.
