Parental Control; easy to override from an IPhone

Dan3693 — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:56:19 GMT

Does anyone know how to prevent the easy parental override from Iphones? My son (kindly) let me know that he can bypass the parental controls, by changing his WiFi on his Iphone to "Rotating" - he figured out how to do this by asking Google and it took him 30 seconds.

I wonder how many kids, have done this and haven't told their parents...

Anyway, does anyoine know how to prevent this, as at the moment, I can't protect my kids.

Thanks

@Dan3693 That requires you to have a lengthy discussion with EE CS on the subject and then NOT letting him know the outcome if EE can help you!

I agree - I've already spoken with them, but apparently there is nothing they can do. One person I spoke to at EE simply said that "some kids are really clever!!!". My guess is most kids can and have maybe already figured this out. I am hoping somebody else might know something to help
