Tell me how to use iOS settings as secure accountability software

Or is the recommendation that it has to be a third party app? In which case, do any apps actually have the ability to monitor "sneaky" use of the phone to access untrackable content? I made the apparent mistake of getting my teenager an iPhone and it is not yet paid off or I would throw it right in the trash. How do I block ALL types of incognito mode, including YouTube and Google from WITHIN safari browser? I cannot use the "only allowed websites option" in screentime because that TRULY creates a massive daily inconvenience since a phone still needs to be used for the internet. Instead of mass blocking everything, I just want to know how to block or more importantly TRACK all internet usage. Both on wifi and data. If I have to go with a third party, I want to know straight up from apple what will not be accomplished so that I hopefully don't waste even more money, this is very stressful and frustrating

Hi Chefgoldblum,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you'd like to use software to track your child's internet usage.


Although the iOS doesn't include any tracking software, it does include Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time so that you can limit your child's usage. You can learn more here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


You can also search the App Store for any monitoring software.


Feel free to share any features you'd like to see with Apple directly here: Product Feedback - Apple


Take care!
