Is it true that you cannot block applications on an iphone?

[Ove]

It’s the most important thing for us as parents; to be able to close social media applications since our kids gets really brainwashed… we bought the premium version… but it doesn’t seems to work on iphones?

We have android phones, but the kids have iphones.

Hello @Ove, 

Welcome!

Yes & no, as follows: Applications, on iOS devices, you can only control access to those applications that are not suitable for your child's age.

For iOS, age restrictions that are applied, will determine which apps  “appear” & will be available for your child, for example, a 5 year child would not see apps that are age appropriate for a 12 year old child. 

KSK, Application monitoring, allows or limits application use according to the following settings:

• Age restrictions based on public age-appropriate ratings: (available for iOS in the app version 1.38.0.14 and later)

• Settings for application categories (not available for iOS) 

• Specific settings for applications regardless of their category, (not available for iOS)
• Facebook & VK monitoring is also available, in the Premium subscription version.

Thank you🙏
