Maybe you didn’t read the whole thing? Or maybe you are just trolling here? It’s unclear. >> Unlike apps such as OurPact, Apple’s tools don’t allow parents to schedule different times throughout a day when an app is blocked — for school or family dinner. And Apple’s tool blocks adult content only on its Safari web browser and some apps, not on other browsers or many popular apps, like Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. << So, in case you missed it, here is what they are saying: 1) ability to set a schedule for blocking apps through out the day. 2) blocking content outside of Safari (in other apps / browsers / etc).

Well let’s see where to start... If you set parental limits in settings. Those limits are supported by Chrome. But, if you are trying to limit what sites your kids can browse to, why would you allow them to install the third party browser in the first place? You can set up Family sharing to notify you and when your child tries to install an app and you can approve or reject the approval from your phone. And if you are that concerned about your child’s well being, why would you install VPN software on their phone that allows a third party to track and record all of the internet activity from your child’s phone? A VPN app cant block content on a level of granularity that blocks certain videos or twitter accounts.. But if you’re counting on software to block Youtube videos and Twitter, you’re doing it wrong.

  All I did was present evidence that your claim was false. You said the article didn’t make any claims as to what features weren’t available so I provided them. I’m not going to engage in a tangential analysis of those features, but you are welcome to it.

    So you’re not going to engage in an analysis when the article was demonstrable wrong and you have no experience personally? How pray tell is a third party app going to filter only certain YouTube videos and certain Twitter posts? Didn’t you have at least the tiniest bit of suspicion about the article?

      No, I’m not.
