When parents are gathering the kids together for a movie night, they probably don’t think of AMC+ as the first place to find something for the whole group. While AMC+ comes with highly intriguing titles for adults like “Interview with the Vampire” or “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” other streamers are probably more equipped for giving kids something new to stream.

In other words, AMC+ has a ton of adult content. Does it also have parental controls to keep kids away from mature content? Learn more about the service’s parental control options here.

What you need to know about parental controls on AMC+

Does AMC+ have parental controls?

Unfortunately, the standalone AMC+ app does not have any parental controls to keep kids away from shows and movies with adult content. There’s a compelling reason for that lack, however; AMC+ doesn’t really have any content that would traditionally be thought of as for kids. As long as you keep your login credentials secret, the children in your family will not be able to break into your AMC+ subscription and watch any titles they should not have access to.

Is there any way to keep kids away from the AMC+ app?

Of course, if you are using AMC+ on a smart TV that everyone in the family has access to, you probably won’t be prompted to log in every time you open the app. To ensure that kids don’t get into AMC+ when you’re not looking, check to see if your streaming device comes with parental controls that you can use to keep kids away from adult content.

You can also check to see if you get parental controls from Prime Video or another distributor that sells AMC+ subscriptions. Many times, you can use these restrictions to keep kids away from add-on services that are not age-appropriate for everyone.
