    Device restrictions on supervised iPhone

    Hi everyone, Not completely sure if this is the best place to discuss this, but I have for a while used supervised iOS/iPadOS devices (I don’t have a Mac). The reason for this is so that I can enforce the settings on my ControlD DNS account. For instance, my ControlD set-up is that for 90% of...

    Apple web filter

    Hi all, TLDR: how is Apple’s built-in web filter managed? How is it updated and improved and how frequently? For a while I’ve been using a DNS service to filter web content on my iPhone, having switched from Apple’s own “limit adult content’ setting. I found Apple’s own filter to be really...

    General Forced to enable Screen Time for Restrictions

    I'm thinking of contacting Apple about this and thought I'd run it past this forum first in case I am mistaken and also to see if any one else feels the same way: I like to keep control of my iPhone apps. I use restrictions to block stuff I never use, similar to how I don't enable wi-fi and...

    iPhone Parent Control / Privacy settings for contacts

    Hey guys and girls... glad to be on board! I am looking for a global way (via configuration profile or MDM) to control the privacy settings for the contacts - e.g preventing WhatsApp to use the contacts at all. The user should not be able to enable contact sync for WhatsApp once it is disabled...

    Restrict Password Change

    I want to restrict password change in El Capitan. In 10.8 this was done on the parental control "Others" tab. This option is no longer there in 10.11. Is there a terminal command to restrict managed accounts from changing their passwords?
