Locking down iPhone for my kid
Hi all. My 12 year old daughter as using an iPhone SE and we tried to lock it down so it only had texts, calls, maps, and camera. I made it so it needed my thumbprint to open safari and all other features I couldn’t delete from the phone. I added her as a kid to the family profile and everything.
Well, turns out you can add another thumb print using the unlock code of the phone and it didn’t notify me at all. So she was able to add her thumbprint and access safari and pretty much any other app.
Is there a fool-proof way (myself being the fool) to lock down an iPhone so a child doesn’t have unfettered access to the internet?
