We value your feedback and will continue to listen to our valuable members as we work together to create solutions that enable all of us to live porn-free. We’re pleased with our new iPhone coverage and constantly working on ways to make it even better. However, some members still benefit from using the Covenant Eyes browser app with ScreenTime restrictions configured. Question: With the updated app, do I need to keep using the Covenant Eyes browser?Īnswer: If you are using iOS 15.1 or higher, then Covenant Eyes can now monitor the Safari browser just like the Covenant Eyes browser. If you use “Strong Blocking” then it is enforced.įor help changing the filter settings for Covenant Eyes, check out this support article. Question: Can I turn off the “forced” YouTube restricted mode? It’s too restrictive.Īnswer: Yes, if you use our “Standard Blocking” then YouTube restricted mode is not enforced. Now, the term VPN is more often used to describe commercial VPNs that are used by everyday people to connect to the internet more securely, thereby hiding their internet activity from their internet service provider or protecting their activity when connected to public hotspots.Ĭovenant Eyes utilizes the VPN feature on the iPhone in order to dig deeper into activity on the device. If a person finds a hidden Google search in an app (and they’re everywhere) and thinks they can get away with an unfiltered search, Covenant Eyes forces a Google safe search every single time.įor more details on Covenant Eyes filtering, see here! Question: What is a VPN? Did Covenant Eyes invent this?Īnswer: A traditional virtual private network (VPN) is typically used by employees to securely access corporate files from remote locations (i.e., home or hotel). We also have a wonderful handle on Google, no matter where Google is accessed on the device. However, Covenant Eyes does block and report explicit web domains. ,, ) in Safari or the Covenant Eyes browser helps to ensure that explicit websites are blocked and explicit content is reported. The best way to prevent access to inappropriate content in apps is to remove them from the device and then use Screen Time to prevent apps from being installed. And we can’t monitor content in apps that isn’t domain based. We can’t block nasty language on Snapchat or stop inappropriate direct messaging and pictures on Instagram. Question: Does Covenant Eyes block porn in every app?Īnswer: Covenant Eyes cannot filter the content that might be shared within an app. A domain name means things like “” or “,” but not the specific addresses (/user-profile-john-doe or /my-group-name/). Covenant Eyes reports these domains but cannot distinguish between actual websites that are clicked on and background data that is accessed by an app. Question: Is every app monitored?Īnswer: Covenant Eyes takes screenshots within the Safari browser (only on iOS 15.1 and higher-screenshots are not taken in Safari with older versions of iOS) and the Covenant Eyes browser app.Ĭovenant Eyes cannot take screenshots in other apps, but it does report explicit web domains. iMessage activity is not available to us. Question: Can you see my texts?Īnswer: No, we cannot see your texts.
I thought that I’d address a few of the more common questions that have come through both our blog and our world-class Member Care team. Our members have asked a lot of great questions about the updated Covenant Eyes sensor app.
#Safari joe blessing update
Now, with our latest update for iOS 15.1 and higher, Covenant Eyes has brought Screen Accountability to the Safari browser! Our ability to connect our accountability and filtering services into deeper parts of the iPhone, including apps, and force Google safe searches no matter where Google is accessed has been very helpful to our members.
