Blocking Social Media

Can I block social media apps like they are doing in Australia for my kids who are using Sky Broadband Shield.

I don't want them to have access to apps.

I can block the webistes, but also I want to block the app itself.

Can you help please?

@Q2025  Not via broadband shield 

 

you may be able to do through the actual app settings on the phone but that will require physical access to the phones

Re: Blocking Social Media

Do you know if there are any other ways to block social media apps. i see it says blocking social networking, but all the apps still work, even if i enable that?

@Q2025  I don't know of any other way I'm afraid 

 

any blocking via broadband shield is for the website versions only the apps run independently from the website version
