OnePlus: Set Up Parental Control Settings

Kids using a OnePlus phone can rack up screen time or download age-inappropriate apps from Google Play before you notice. OxygenOS hides parental restrictions inside Digital Wellbeing instead of a standalone app, so the option is easy to miss. Setting it up lets you limit device usage time and filter content without installing a separate parental app.

Set Up Parental Controls auf OnePlus

OnePlus phones running OxygenOS route parental controls through the Digital Wellbeing settings instead of a separate app. That is why many parents look in the wrong place and never find the option.

Where parental controls live on OnePlus

The feature sits under Digital Wellbeing & parental controls in the system settings. From there you link a child account and choose which restrictions apply, from app time limits to content filters on Google Play.

To reach it: Open the SettingsTap on Digital Wellbeing & parental controlsTap on Set up parental controlsTap on Get started and follow the instructions on screen.

What the setup actually changes

Once linked, the childs Google account inherits restrictions for apps, purchases and browsing. Screen time limits and bedtime schedules are managed from the parent device, not the childs device.

Content filters apply mainly to Google Play and Google services. They do not block third-party browsers or apps installed outside the Play Store unless you add extra restrictions inside those apps.

When this is not enough

If you need website-level filtering across all browsers, pair this setup with a DNS-based filter or a dedicated family management app. Digital Wellbeing alone covers device usage and Play Store content, not full network filtering.

Frequently asked questions

No. Digital Wellbeing & parental controls requires a linked child account to apply restrictions. Tap on Get started guides you through creating or linking that account.
