Parental approval

Hi there, is there any chance I can prevent my child from re-downloading an app that I once approved but I don't want to be used anymore?

Thank you!

Hi bocaixela,

You can't "re-block" it. The most you can try to do is to hide the purchase: Hide purchases from the App Store - Apple Support.

Cheers,

Jack

Parental App Approval Revoke App I’m trying to setup a browser on my child’s iPhone, but can’t seem to get the parental controls to work properly. During this process, I approved the download of apps such as Chrome. I have deleted the Chrome app from the child’s iPhone, but it can still be downloaded from the App Store, without asking for approval. How can I revoke my previous approval for a particle app?

How can I disapprove previously approved apps? How can I disapprove previously approved apps? I approved an app for my child, but then realized it was not appropriate and want to disapprove the app so he cannot continue to download it once I deleted it. I also do not want to disable his ability to download apps, I just want to disapprove this one app and still allow him to download/ask for approval of apps going forward. This is a question from quite some years now, however I believe the programming should be able to be accomplished by now. Are there any updates for adding this feature to iOS or Mac OS?
