Troubleshooting Prevent Tampering on iOS Devices

First, Verify the Most Recent iOS and Connect App is Running

1. Verify the most recent of the Apple iOS is installed on your Child's Device
   See support.apple.com/en-au/HT204204
2. In iOS Settings > App Store > App Updates, verify automatic updates are turned on.
   See, support.apple.com/en-au/HT202180

Next, Update iOS 14 and iOS 15 Protection

Updates from Apple in iOS 14 and iOS 15 allow the Connect App to be locked onto your Child's Device until a Parent deactivates Connect. This update prevents your Child from removing any part of the Connect App without a Parent's authorization.

Child's devices: iOS 14 and newer iPhones or iPads

Update the Connect App

We're excited to let you know about two new features for families with iOS devices using iOS14+, to keep your kids even safer online. As of October 2021:

• Children can no longer delete the Connect app from their device
• We've removed the ability for children to turn off filtering

To enable these new features, Parents need to update the Connect App by following the steps below.

Deactivate the Connect App

On your Child’s iPhone or iPad:

2. Enter your 4-digit Parent PIN 
3. Tap DEACTIVATE 
4. Tap OK

The Connect App will return you to the Sign in screen. 

If you cannot find the Connect App on your Child’s Device, see:

2. Tap CHILD 
3. Tap on your Child's name
