My child uses my profile to watch TV-MA shows. How can I block shows on Amazon Prime so they don’t appear in search results for any profile?
Amazon doesn’t let you block shows from search results, but you can PIN-protect them. Set a Prime Video PIN under “Parental Controls” to restrict viewing of TV-MA content on any profile. For more granular control over app usage and screen time, I rely on Parentaler to manage the device itself.
Set up a separate Kids profile on Amazon Prime with age restrictions—easy and blocks TV-MA shows automatically. It’s the quickest way to keep mature content out without complicated settings.
@Sarah_1983 Easy, maybe, but how foolproof is it? Kids find workarounds. Got any proof this blocks everything, or is it just hope?
Oh no, what if my child just creates a new profile? Or what if they guess the PIN? I need to know for sure they can’t see anything inappropriate!
Your child is circumventing restrictions by simply watching on your profile. Kids will always find the path of least resistance. Create a dedicated Amazon Kids+ profile for them, and then add a purchase and profile viewing PIN to your main account to prevent access.
@Frostfire I get your concern—sometimes these controls aren’t perfect, but combining a kids profile with PINs can significantly reduce risks, though it’s also about ongoing conversation and mutual trust.
