The stupid thing is that iPad does have this feature natively, but you need to use an MDM (or apple configurator profile) to access it.
I'm still of the opinion that there's a market, albeit a small one, for a "consumer" MDM product for use cases like this, better parental controls, etc. but almost all are for business and come with some kind of minimum device purchase like 30+ devices.
- wffurr 8mo agoI found a thread on macpowerusers.com that recommended Jamf or Zoho that both have a free tier for Apple MDM. https://talk.macpowerusers.com/t/mdm-for-family-home/39714/8 https://talk.macpowerusers.com/t/mdm-for-family-home/39714/8 I'm kind of curious to try it out on my kids' iPads to make them interchangeable.

When my children were younger I used configurator to adopt, and configure, their ipod touch devices. It was a bit of a pain but not too bad. Anyone can do this - configurator is free and runs on any old macbook ...
- jonny_eh 8mo agoApple wouldn't approve a consumer focused MDM provider.
- astrange 8mo agoApple doesn't approve MDM providers in the first place.
- TingPing 8mo agoI’m not familiar with this but interested in trying it. From what I see they do and you need a certificate from them from a Enterprise Developer Account?
- jonny_eh 8mo agoThey can, and have, revoked certificates for arbitrary reasons.
- yreg 8mo agoYou need to get an MDM Vendor certificate from Apple.
