Desactivar FamilyMode

My son seems to have figured ou that you can disable FamilyMode by simply turning off VPN in the iPhone's general settings. Is it really that easy to disable the app and make it useless?

  • You can see usage, but you can't limit anything. Also- another fatal flaw is that the app can simply be removed by the child, in the same way that they remove any app on the phone. The whole point of the app is to set some limits for people who don't want to be limited. So, if they can just disable and/or remove it, what's the point?

    Well that is odd! So everything else is working except for time limits when VPN is off? Also, when the device turns off VPN, you should be receiving "a G_manualstop notification." on your device. Are you getting that?

    In looking for a way to lock the VPN settings on the device....... there is not really much of anything to make it easy. You may want to let him know that you can see when it is disabled and that he should not be disabling it.

  • Just to add a bit - The app isn't completely disabled, but the time limits don't seem to work anymore with VPN turned off. Any insight would be appreciated.
