Parental Controls: A Guide to Managing Disney+ Profile Settings

No two families are the same — and neither are their streaming sensibilities.

With features like content ratings, Junior Mode, and Profile PINs, Disney+ Parental Controls make it easy to customise the viewing experience for everyone in your household.

Whether you’re huddled on the sofa for family movie night or want to make sure the kids are streaming movies and shows that are appropriate for their age, our convenient features make managing your family’s entertainment hub easier than ever. Plus, if you want to curate what movies and shows are available for your family, you can restrict profile creation and toggle live content settings.

What are content ratings?

Content on Disney+ is rated to help you choose age-appropriate shows and movies for everyone in your household. You can set content ratings for each Disney+ profile so that programmes rated higher than a profile’s content rating won’t show up when that user is browsing or searching for something to stream.

Note: Content rating settings will not impact content included in on-service promotions. Please note that the content rating for any profile other than Junior Mode profiles will default to a family-friendly rating. This default rating can be changed at any time.

What’s Junior Mode on Disney+?

Junior Mode helps you create a space just for younger streamers on Disney+. It’s easy to navigate, free of commercial interruptions, and only includes content suitable for viewers of all ages — plus, it features a built-in Kid-Proof Exit to help prevent them from switching profiles. And don’t worry: you can switch Junior Mode on or off any time in the Disney+ app or a supported web browser. You can enable and disable Junior Mode through the Disney+ mobile app or on a supported web browser at any time.

NOTE: Junior Mode content does not contain ads, and autoplay is disabled for profiles in Junior Mode.

What’s a Profile PIN?

A Disney+ Profile PIN prevents others (i.e., young children) from accessing your profile on Disney+ — like a four-digit code protects your bank card against unauthorised transactions. Most importantly, a Profile PIN helps prevent kids from switching to unrestricted profiles.

Managing your PIN is easy. Set up or change it any time from the Edit Profiles screen. And if you forget it, reset it by using your email address and following the on-screen instructions. Visit our Help Centre to learn more about using a Profile PIN on Disney+.

Can I restrict profile creation?

Yes! You can prevent other users from creating new profiles by enabling profile creation restriction on your Account page. Once enabled, a password will always be required to create a new profile.

Can I set parental controls for live events?

Yes! You can turn off the “Allow titles without ratings like live sports, news, and more” setting under Parental Controls. Titles without ratings are shown on Disney+ by default, unless this toggle is turned off or the profile is set to Junior Mode.

Visit the Disney+ Help Centre for more on live content and live ads.

Disney+ Parental Controls ensure everyone — from the overcurious toddler to the overcautious grandparent — can join the party. So, discover how you can personalise your family’s entertainment hub, and gain peace of mind, control, and safety with Disney+ Parental Controls.
