Online Safety
Reporting unlawful or harmful content
In Singapore, you can report unlawful or harmful content that you find on the App Store — including illegal and restricted online content — to Apple. If the content is on a third party app or other third party content service, or in unsolicited promotions, you can also report it directly to the third party provider. If they do not resolve your concern, you can also escalate the issue to Apple.
Block, filter and report spam messages as junk
In the Messages app, you can reduce the number of unwanted messages you receive when you block individuals, filter unknown senders, and report spam or junk messages.
Communication Safety
Communication safety helps protect your child by warning them when they receive or attempt to send images or videos that contain nudity in Messages, AirDrop, Contact Posters in the Phone app, FaceTime video messages, and the system Photos picker.
Sensitive Content Warning
Sensitive Content Warning helps adult users avoid seeing unwanted nude images and videos. The feature is optional and can be turned on by the user in Privacy & Security settings.
Family Sharing
Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six family members to share music, films, TV shows, apps, books and subscriptions, all without sharing an Apple Account. You can set up an Apple Account for kids, set permissions remotely with Screen Time and approve spending and downloads from a parent’s device with Ask to Buy.

Create an Apple Account for your child
Instead of sharing an account with your child, which can give them unwanted access to your personal data, create an Apple Account for them. Then you can easily set age-based parental controls, and they can use Family Sharing, Messages, the App Store and other Apple services.
Parental Controls
With Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time, you can block or limit specific apps and features on your child’s device. You can also restrict the settings on your Apple device for explicit content, purchases and downloads, and privacy.
Personal Safety
Keep yourself safe and your data private. Sever digital ties with those you no longer want to be connected to, and learn more about the personal safety features that are built into Apple devices.
