Timer for iPad and Android tablet

[Freefaller]

Hi all,

Just after some advice - we have 2 tablets that the kids use, it's pretty locked down in terms of what they can use / see etc... However I'd like to limit the time they can use it.

On the android timer it does seem to work, i.e. youtube kids will stop working after 30 mins for example. However the ipad just seems to come up with a notification rather than stopping the app?

Ideally is there a way that after a set period of time the device locks? The kids know the code to the tablets...

I'm sure there's probably a setting somewhere, but my apple knowledge is quite lacking on this front, but I want to see if there's a better way of managing screen time for both of them if possible.

Thank you.

Have you tried family link? that may work, the missus uses it to lock our kids phones at night so they are not on them all night.

Is that an app or part of the apple ecosystem?

The iPad is the only apple device we own (it's 10 years old).

Edit: ah I've found it. Looks like it might be just the job. Thanks!
