How to keep kids safe with kids profiles

ShowMax isn’t just for kids though and most parents wouldn’t want their kids stumbling onto the latest season of Game of Thrones when searching for dragons! With a single subscription, parents can watch their favourite show on the big screen while the kids watch cartoons on a tablet.

The kids profiles feature makes it possible to protect children by ensuring only age-appropriate content is accessible.

Four different profiles are available on ShowMax

Younger kids (under 7)

Older kids (8-12)

Teens (13-16)

Adults

The default Kids Profile is set to the lowest age rating and viewing is suitable for children under 7.

How to create a kids profile

To create profiles on the web app:

Go to ShowMax.com and sign in

Click on the user name (upper right of the screen)

Click on my account > profiles > add profile.

Age settings and PIN codes can be set here.

 

To create profiles on Android and iOS apps

Click on the menu button (top left of the screen)

Click on my account > profiles > add profile.

If profiles are being used to limit the content available to children, it’s best to PIN protect any profiles that contain adult viewing. Once a profile is PIN-code protected, the watchlist and recently watched summaries from one profile aren’t visible to other profiles.
