Check the Username


  • If another member on your account is signed into Victory Shield™ on the iPhone®, the phone's activity will appear on the other member's Check-in or Activity Feed.
     
  • Open the Victory Shield™ app menu to view or switch what username is signed into Victory Shield™.

Check the Victory Shield™ Version


Check Safari®


  • With the newest version of Victory Shield™, Safari® must be on in Screen Time (Apple's device controls) so we can screen-capture browsing activity.
     
  • If it isn't, Safari® will be missing from the iPhone® home screen, and there will be no screenshots in your Activity Feed or Check-in.
     
  • Refer to our Screen Time article to check Safari® and ensure it's on.

Check for Conflicts


Here are things that can conflict with Victory Shield™ on an iPhone®:

  • VPN: If you install an app with a VPN or use a VPN for work, it will conflict with Victory Shield™. Other VPNs conflict with Victory Shield™ because we run a VPN-like process in the background of your iPhone®. 
     
  • Mobile Device Manager (MDM): If you installed an app that uses an MDM or if your employer manages your device via an MDM, it will conflict with Victory Shield™. To check for an MDM on your device:

    1. Open the Settings app on the iPhone®.
    2. Tap "General."
    3. Scroll down and tap "Profile."
    4. If you have an MDM, you'll see its name on the screen.
     
  • Monitoring Apps: Other monitoring, filtering, and parental control apps may conflict with Victory Shield™ and cause gaps in reporting. Remove such apps to prevent problems with Victory Shield™.
