I have an iPhone 10 but saved my iPhone 6 for grandchildren to play games on. How do I stop messages from appearing on the old phone and the log for incoming calls? I’m hesitant to delete my Apple ID since I purchase games occasionally with it. Is there a way I can still use the App Store and stop the messages from appearing?

Best Answer
The officially supported way is to use Family Sharing. You create a child Apple ID using your account, and you will maintain parental control over the child account, including App Store, iTunes and Apple Books purchases. It will have access to all your apps and music, and you will have the opportunity to approve any purchases your grandchild makes.
