We are pleased to announce the arrival of the new and improved Covenant Eyes app for iPhone® and iPad®. With a new VPN, safe browsing in Safari®, and a new home screen—it's our biggest update ever!
All-New VPN
Our new VPN will provide a seamless web and app traffic monitoring experience. Here are the details:
- It improves connectivity for both cellular and WiFi connections.
- With improved stability, you'll experience fewer interruptions & crashes.
- Additionally, when this VPN is turned off, that event is reported in the Activity Feed.
Safe Browsing in Safari®
While the Covenant Eyes browser has served members for years, we're retiring it because our Safari extension screen-captures all your activity in Safari. Make sure to:
- Check that Safari® is on in Screen Time.
- Turn on the Safari extension in the Settings app.
- Set Safari as your default browser in the Settings app.
- Transfer bookmarks from Covenant Eyes to Safari.
New Home Screen
The main screen of the Covenant Eyes iPhone app is called "App Health." Here you can see the status of Covenant Eyes on the iPhone®:
- VPN
- Notifications
- Safari Extension
- Background Refresh
New Age Rating
The new Covenant Eyes app for iPhone® doesn't include a browser, so Apple has changed our app's age rating from 17+ to 4+. This new rating benefits all members by allowing them to use "younger" Screen Time settings with Covenant Eyes.
Compatibility
iOS® (iPhone® operating system) 15.1 is required to install and run the Covenant Eyes app for iPhone.
