You sure your kid doesn’t know your parental override code?

I’ve tested it. I take his phone and go right to safari and it lets me do

Not sure why you can’t delete it. I deleted it on my sons phone.

You can remove it as an app but make sure to deactivate Siri as an internet

Just delete it. If you set the restriction to download apps, he can’t add it.

Also, if you want him on safari, why does he have a smartphone?

Have you toggled safari off in allowed apps? If you do that, it shouldn’t

Android is so far superior to iPhone for parental controls

I have both and tried both. You are correct Android is better for parental ctrls

Really? I don't love the Android parental controls

Not the built in ones, what they allow third party apps to do. I use mmguardian and it

The free Google Family Link is wonderful

I wish it let you do app categories

Android parent controls are better because you can actually get them to work.

I think I found a solution that seems to work

HRCougar

There are all sorts of work arounds to this and, if he wants, he will be able to
