My daughter has an iPhone 14 and I have switched on Assistive Access so that she only uses key and relevant apps. She is young and so I do not want her accessing the internet or instant chat functions. It’s primarily for her safety when walking to and from school.
However, when the phone is in Assistive Access mode, there is no way to turn off the phone without exiting said mode, which pretty much makes it defunct. If she can exit Assistive Access to switch the phone off then she can use the apps I dont want her to use.
I dont understand why there is no way to turn the phone on and off when in Assistive Access mode - seems pointless to me, especially as it is being used more and more to limit what young people can access on their phones.
In addition, I have also previously used screen/app limitations but these can be easily overridden by my daughter and also, the rarely actually worked as I set them up to. I feel that Apple do not necessarily have an interest in protecting young people with their phones use, making restrictions difficult to apply and easy to break.
Any help gratefully received, please.
