The grown-ups area, your code and Face ID

Settings, progress, printables and Plus live in For grown-ups. Kids can't get in without your code.

Open it

1. Tap the round gear at the top right of any kid screen.
2. Tap For grown-ups at the top of Settings.
3. Enter your 4-digit code. The page opens.

The first time: choose a code

The first time, the app asks a number question: three numbers written as words, such as “four, seven, two”, typed as digits (472). Then it asks you to choose a 4-digit code and type it again. Your child doesn't see it.

Next, the app shows an 8-digit recovery code. Write it down and keep it away from your child. It's the same on your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV signed in to the same Apple Account, so one recovery code works for the whole family. You can see it again under Grown-up code.

Forgot the code?

1. Tap Forgot code? under the number keys.
2. Type your recovery code. The grown-ups area opens and asks for a new code, then shows a new recovery code.

Lost the recovery code too? Tap Lost it? to reset your code in 48 hours. Practice goes on as usual while you wait, and typing your code before then cancels it.

Face ID or Touch ID

1. In the grown-ups area, open Grown-up code.
2. Turn on Open with Face ID (Touch ID on devices that have it).

Turn it on only on your own device, if your child can't unlock it with their face. It opens the grown-ups area and printing certificates. Buying Plus still asks for your code. If a new face is added to the device, it turns itself off.

What's inside

Your plan and your children come first. Tap a child to change their name, picture or level. Then come the things you use most: Progress, Homework, Printables and Share this week. Under Settings are Daily goal, Sound and vibration, Language, iCloud, Grown-up code and Plan and about. Reset progress and Erase everything are at the bottom. On a tablet, the list sits on the left with the open page beside it.
