app restrictions

Digital usage controls

App restrictions are controls that limit how applications can be used, typically on smartphones or tablets.

Parents set app restrictions to control children's screen time or block mature content.

Employers may restrict apps on company devices.

Operating systems include built-in restriction features: I enabled app restrictions so my kids can't make in-app purchases.
