    Apple web filter

    Hi all, TLDR: how is Apple’s built-in web filter managed? How is it updated and improved and how frequently? For a while I’ve been using a DNS service to filter web content on my iPhone, having switched from Apple’s own “limit adult content’ setting. I found Apple’s own filter to be really...

    General Forced to enable Screen Time for Restrictions

    I'm thinking of contacting Apple about this and thought I'd run it past this forum first in case I am mistaken and also to see if any one else feels the same way: I like to keep control of my iPhone apps. I use restrictions to block stuff I never use, similar to how I don't enable wi-fi and...

    Restrict Password Change

    I want to restrict password change in El Capitan. In 10.8 this was done on the parental control "Others" tab. This option is no longer there in 10.11. Is there a terminal command to restrict managed accounts from changing their passwords?
