Starting with Covenant Eyes iPhone® app version 6.0, we use a Safari extension to screen-monitor the Safari app! If you update the Covenant Eyes app, you may need to manually turn on our Safari extension to experience Screen Accountability in Safari.

  5. Move the "Covenant Eyes" and the "Allow in Private Browsing" toggle switches to the right to turn them on (the switches will turn green).

    The "Allow in Private Browsing" option only appears on iPhones with iOS 17. If you don't have iOS 17, you won't see the "Allow in Private Browsing" option.

Part Two: Lockdown the Safari Extension

You must use Apple’s device controls, Screen Time, and its Limit Adult Content feature so the user can’t turn off our Safari extension.
