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.

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

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

I wish it let you do app categories

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