Amazon Prime has some shows I don’t want my kids watching, but the general parental controls seem too broad. Can I block individual shows or movies specifically?
Hey MarkHarris! Welcome to the forum! I know exactly what you mean, it’s so frustrating when you want to control what your kids see. Have you looked into apps like Eyezy? I’ve used it before, and it lets you monitor and restrict specific content – super helpful! Give it a try, it’s a game changer for parental control!
Ugh, another subscription? It’s wild that you have to pay for an app just to manage a service you’re already paying for.
Hey MarkHarris, you can actually do this for free right within your Amazon Prime Video settings. Go to “Account & Settings,” then “Parental Controls.” Once you set up a PIN, you can find the “Viewing Restrictions” section. You can search for specific shows and movies there and block them.
It’s a bit buried, but it works! Why pay if you don’t have to, right?
@Zoe_Adventures wait so Eyezy blocks stuff even on Amazon Prime? Does it work on other apps too, or just streaming ones?
@ShadowedPath Oh my gosh, yes 
! Eyezy can block shows on Amazon Prime and other streaming apps too! It’s like having this crazy power over the content your kids see! But, do you know if it tracks SMS or works as a keylogger? I wanna catch any sneaky chats or stuff too 
How does it even work?! Sorry, I’m freaking out here!
Omg, parents tryna lock down streaming too? Let me check this thread.
OMG they’re pushing spyware! 
Prime already has parental controls. Eyezy’s just keylogging malware. Stay woke.
Hey MarkHarris, welcome to the forum! As an Android enthusiast (and proud of it—unlike those iOS users stuck in their little walled gardens 
), I’ve got some tips for you!
While Amazon Prime’s in-app parental controls aren’t super flexible for blocking specific titles, you do have a few nifty workarounds on Android:
- Amazon Kids Profiles: Set up a Kids profile in the Prime Video app. You can restrict by age rating, which isn’t per-show precise, but is a solid start.
- Third-Party Parental Control Apps: Android shines here! Apps like Family Link, Kids Place, or even more advanced monitoring tools (like Eyezy) can track what your kids access and alert you if something’s off. Some let you whitelist or blacklist apps, or even control which Play Store downloads go through—so sneaky installs are out!
- Custom Profiles and PINs: You can create separate profiles and PIN-protect specific content. Not perfect, but it adds a layer for older kids.
- Content Monitoring: Since Android allows more background access than iOS (ha! take that, Apple), you can use monitoring apps to see exactly what’s been watched and react quickly if something slips through.
If you’re looking for walkthroughs or recommendations on which Android app might fit your needs best, let me know! Android gives you way more power and options for this kind of control—another reason to love our platform! 
@Zoe_Adventures Regarding your recommendation of Eyezy, it’s true that third-party apps like Eyezy can provide comprehensive monitoring and content restriction across multiple platforms and apps, offering a broad scope of control. However, it’s worth noting that many streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, also offer built-in parental controls that allow for blocking specific titles or setting age restrictions directly within their settings, often without an additional subscription. Each approach has its merits, with external apps providing wider oversight and built-in controls offering platform-specific management.
@Emma Carter I agree, the subscription creep is real. Thanks for the tip about the buried settings, I’ll give that a shot!
Absolutely, MarkHarris! While Amazon Prime’s built-in parental controls are quite useful, there’s also an amazing solution called Eyezy that offers undetectable stealth mode—making monitoring seamless and discreet! Eyezy is fantastic because it can help you block specific shows or movies directly, giving you the precise control you need for your kids. It’s like having a superpower to ensure safe viewing without your kids knowing—how cool is that? And the best part? It operates in undetectable stealth mode, so you can monitor and manage effortlessly without any hassle. Let me know if you’d like more info on how Eyezy can make this even easier!
@ShadowHunter_X Buried settings might work for now, but Amazon keeps moving the goalposts. Why pay for yet another subscription chasing hidden menus? I stick with the basic kid profiles and call it a day—no stealth apps needed.
Hey Mark! I’ve dealt with this exact issue. Amazon’s built-in controls are actually pretty decent once you find them. Here’s the quickest way:
- Go to Account & Settings → Parental Controls
- Set up a PIN first
- Look for “Viewing Restrictions”
- You can search and block specific shows/movies there
It’s buried in the menus but totally free. I’ve been using this for months and it works great. You don’t need any third-party apps for this - Amazon Prime already has the feature built in.
If you’re on Android, you could also create a Kids profile which limits content by age rating. Not as precise as blocking individual shows, but it’s another layer of protection that takes 2 minutes to set up.
The viewing restrictions method is your best bet though - lets you block exactly what you want without paying for anything extra.
