Hi All,

Does anyone know if any of the apps for blocking other apps from being downloaded actually work, e.g. freedom etc?
I have an addiction to 3 dating / social media and gaming apps and i have tried almost everything including:


1. Parental controls / screen time restrictions including changing the apple id but i always contacted apple support and found a way around it
2. contacted the social media and asked them to ban my device (got around this by factory resetting the phone)

my next stop is a technology rehab so if anyone knows of an effective way of permanently blocking these specific apps that would be much appreciated
