If set up correctly kids wont be able to delete the Screencoach App.
We use Apple's built in Screen Time feature with ScreenCoach

Problem: 

Kids may be able to delete or uninstall ScreenCoach from their iOS devices in a few scenarios:

  • If the child is not a part of your Apple Family
  • If the Child's device is managed by an MDM (Mobile Device Management), provided by their School/Organisation

How to check if a child is a part of your Apple Family:

  • Go to iOS Settings on your Parent iPhone. 
  • Tap on Family & Check if the child's Apple account is present in your family. 
  • If the child is not a part of your Apple Family, you can choose to create a new child account by tapping on the "+" icon (Add member) on the top right of the same Family screen and follow the prompts. Use this Apple account to login to the child's device under iOS Settings. 
  • If you prefer not to add the child in your Apple Family, you can leave it as it is and follow the steps below. 


To prevent kids from deleting or uninstalling ScreenCoach, you may enable ScreenTime PIN as an extra layer of security. 


ScreenTime PIN helps to prevent children,

  • From accessing and changing ScreenTime settings on iOS
  • From disabling, uninstalling or deleting the ScreenCoach app


Please note that ScreenTime PIN is different from the ScreenCoach PIN.


Setting Up ScreenTime PIN:  


  1. On the child's device:
    • Open iOS Settings.
    • Go to Screen Time.
    • Scroll down and tap "Lock Screen Time Settings". 
    • Enter and re-enter a desired PIN to confirm. 


Note: It may prompt you to log in with your Apple ID (parent account) to enable the PIN.


Additional Information on ScreenTime PIN:

  • Once set, the child cannot disable or uninstall ScreenCoach without the PIN, providing an extra layer of control.
  • If ScreenTime is off, you will not be able to see the option to turn on ScreenTime PIN. 
    • In this scenario, you will have to turn on ScreenTime for that particular child - and then follow the instructions above to set up ScreenTime PIN
    • Once ScreenTime PIN is set up, turn off ScreenTime by tapping on "Turn Off App & Website Activity" in the same ScreenTime screen. 
    • Please remember the ScreenTime PIN you set up.
