You have to have a Mac or iOS device configured with a parent's account to set up shared apps and parental controls on iPads for kids. That's because there is no web interface to configure them.

That seems insane to me. Obviously using a parent account makes sense. I wonder if it’s just insanely difficult to find? I know I can change family settings on the website, but have no idea about parental controls. It seems like it’d be illegal to require a second device to set up the first device, no?

Believe me, if it existed, I would have found it. I spent hours searching, and basically all of Apple's documentation said you needed to go to your own Mac or iOS device to configure it.

Yeah that’s insane to me.
