5 lets users set accounts up to only allow family friendly content. G-rated films and other content means parental guidance is needed.
To set up content filters:
Step 1 – While signed in to your 5 account, click the gear icon in the top right of the home screen.
Step 2 – In Settings, scroll down to the Parental Controls option and turn the toggle on.
Step 3 – When the pop-up appears, type in the PIN you would like to use, then type it in again to confirm and click Choose your PIN.
Step 4 – You will now be notified that the PIN has been set up. Click OK to proceed.
Whenever your child tries to access G-rated films or shows that might include explicit content, they will receive a message saying they must enter the PIN. As such, make sure it is a PIN only you know.
