Quick Answer: Disney Plus allows you to create a separate child profile that only shows family-friendly content on the platform. To add more security, you can even lock your profile and restrict new profile creation.

How to Set Up Parental Controls on Disney Plus?

Disney Plus offers more than one option for every parent to make the platform child-friendly. The initiatives you can take would be:

Disney+ comes with a preset profile for kids that only gives access to family-friendly shows and movies. All you need to do is click ‘Kids’ when the ‘Who’s Watching’ section appears.

That’s it. You’ll now see kid-friendly shows on the screen.

You also have the option to create a separate profile for your child. In my opinion, the plus point here is that you can tweak the Disney Plus Settings to ensure that your kids can only stream family-friendly content on the platform. To create one, follow these steps:

• Click on Add profile.

  

• Write the name in the given section.

  

• Now, scroll down and turn on the toggle for Kids Profile under Disney+ PARENTAL CONTROLS.

  

You’ll see the main screen with that account, and it will only show kid-friendly content.

If your child is not that young but not that old to watch adult shows, you can set content ratings for their account.

• Go to the profile selection page again and select ‘Edit Profiles.’ 

• Scroll down and click Content Rating.

  

• Then, you’ll see the list of ratings on your screen; tap on any to limit the viewable content.

  

So, if you’ve selected a rating suitable for young minds, no adult content will appear on the profile.

It seems obvious that when your kid finds their profile restricted, they can easily open your account and watch whatever they like. For that, you can create a Profile pin and make it inaccessible to other users. Follow these steps:

• Open your Disney+ account and open ‘Edit Profile.’

• Scroll down and click Profile PIN.

  

• Insert the four digits of your choice as the PIN to keep your profile locked.

  

• Enter your profile password, and click CONTINUE to confirm the action.

  

Now, no other account holders can access your profile without entering the code.

You can also prevent your children or other users from creating a new Disney+ account. This is possible by restricting profile creation, and you need to follow these steps:

• Click the profile icon and open ‘Account.’

  

• Scroll down and turn on the toggle for Restrict Profile Creation.

  

• Enter your password and click CONTINUE to confirm the action.

  

• Then, you’ll get back to the previous screen with Restrict Profile Creation enabled.

  

Final Words

So, tweaking a few Disney Plus account settings can ensure a safe streaming experience for your children. Whether it’s restricting the explicit content on the platform or locking your own profile with a security PIN, you can take a sigh of relief and make the changes easily.
