This is an interesting functionality. I wonder if Covenant Eyes can do this for iOS??
Hello Andy,
Thanks for your question. The app locking feature as a part of the Covenant Eyes software is exclusive to the Android version of our app. We added app locking to Android because it was a more open system that didn't have the same restriction options available that iPhones do intrinsically. So while app locking isn't available through Covenant Eyes on the iPhone, the system itself offers many of the same features. By going into the Screen Time Restrictions in the Settings app of the iPhone you can lock down access to the App Store entirely if you wish to. You can also disable any apps that come standard with the iPhone if you wish. Using Screen Time is a great way to make the iPhone safer to use. In case it would be helpful I'll include a link that walks you through how to set up Screen Time. You can find that link here.
Thanks again for your question. If there is anything else we can do please do let us know. Thank you and have a great rest of your day.
Andy, that's a good question. I've had some success "supervising" my iPhone using Apple Configurator on a Mac that is located in a different location than where I might be triggered in a moment of weakness. I then apply a profile to limit the phone to the apps that I want. You can set it so that the profile cannot be removed unless it's connected physically to that original Mac. Again, this idea requires an off-site Mac, say at work. I use this alongside CE.
This is, ironically, a more techie solution than what is available on Android. But this is because - personal opinion, not that of CE - Apple's basic philosophy is that an adult should never have anything they can't remove from their phone, unless it's a "business" situation. Apple - and Google - don't care one bit whether you are hooked on porn or not, so everything we do in this labor goes against the basic grain of how these devices are designed. There will always, always be weird trade-offs.
