Features, settings & updates

[Micolata]

Roku TV - I have a 5 year old and have set all the parental settings, hid menu options, deleted channels, etc... She is still able to download apps I have deleted. Either there needs to be a setting to block downloads without a my pin, or the "streaming channels" menu link needs to be hide-able like the other menu items. It is absolutely driving me crazy that it's 2024 and this is still an issue.

@Micolata-

Have you set a PIN on your Roku account and required it to be entered when installing a channel app?

Hi @Micolata,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We can certainly understand your concern that you want to manage parental controls on the Roku device.

We currently do not offer a global parental control setting to restrict access to content across all streaming channels. Hence, you can configure access limits based on ratings in certain situations. But we have parental control over The Roku channel and the Roku PIN feature.

For more information, read about this: How to block content using parental controls | Official Roku Support.

Feel free to let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

All the best,
Chel
