If you have followed our tutorial to setup parental control restrictions on the iPhone or iPod Touch, you are likely to have set this up correctly.
If you notice an alternative browser like Oceanus or other private browsers setup on the device, the first step is to delete these alternative browsers. Simply hold down your finger on the icon until it starts wiggling. Click the X to delete the app.
Next, make sure this doesn't happen again by following the steps below.
1. From the home screen, select Settings. It is the gray/silver icon with gears.
2. Select General > Restrictions. Enter your restrictions passcode.
3. In the Restrictions menu, you can do one of two things:
- Set Installing Apps to the OFF position. That way, your child will not be able to purchase any other apps without asking your permission to unlock the App Store on the device.
- (NOTE: This alternative works only on iPhone OS 3.0 or later versions) Leave Installing Apps at the ON position. Scroll down and select Allowed Apps. Allow apps rated as 4+, 7+ or 12+. Mobicip Safe Browser will still be available on your screen, but all other apps that do not meet the age criteria (as defined by Apple) will be removed from the device. The App Store will still be accessible, but the user will not be able to see any apps that are not rated at that level. Private browsers allow free web browsing and therefore will be rated at 17+.
By following the steps above, you can make sure that Mobicip is the default browser on the device, and thereby ensure that your child has a safe secure and educational Internet experience on his/her favorite device
