My child can’t access an app that they should be able to access
If your child tells you that their internet isn’t working or that they can’t access an app (on an Apple iOS or Android device) that they should be able to, this could simply be us doing what we are supposed to be doing. If we are blocking an app it’s likely to say something like “Check internet” or “Unable to refresh feed” or it could simply be a spinner and the content never loading.
- Check the device is connecting to the internet
On the child's device, use a web browser (Chrome or Safari)
