Re: Disabling FamilyMode

Of course, the Android version is modified by the carrier, but not so easy to mess with Android's core design which is meant to give the user complete control of the device and stop apps from messing with anything unless you give it specific permission. On the IOS side there is a way to act at a higher permission level and lock things down for the user, but Android for some reason has not done this. I have tried to use Tmobile family controls TWICE now and both times my kids get around it within minutes. Kasperksy does have an app which they claim cannot be deleted or messed with on Android, not sure how, but will check it out. Android has family link, you create the email that the phone operates under and then you can control the phone. However, my son already created an email address which he has all this history on, so I didn't remove it because he was devastated. But if he removes T-Mobile Family Mode again, I will add family link and shut it down. Just wish I had known about family link earlier before creating the email address.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Disabling FamilyMode

Is it really that easy to disable the app and make it useless? My son just removed the app, TikTok made him do it. Perhaps not using a bright pink magenta color app icon and disguising the name to "FM T-Mobile" he wouldn't have noticed it so quickly. It would be nice if we could customize it. I had to tell him if he removed it again that I would disable his entire phone and take over his email address.5Visto2likes0Comentarios
