Profiles are especially useful if multiple family members share the same account. It is always a good idea to use a separate profile for your children and a strong PIN for your own account. Profiles alone are not enough: you need both profile settings and parental controls enabled.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Safety_Tips\"><\/span>Additional Safety Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Regularly review viewing history.<\/li>\n<li>Update restrictions as children grow.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor new profiles added to the account.<\/li>\n<li>Check the restrictions on each TV, tablet and phone your children use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you use multiple streaming platforms, apply similar controls everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>So do try this tip out and block adult content on your Amazon Prime subscription today to protect your children from viewing adult movies or videos by mistake.
