I would like to unapprove an app.

Apps that have been approved can be re-downloaded by children. But how to remove an approved app for re-download?

Un-approve etc.

I have managed to find a workaround for this issue.

In order to block an application you have to activate Screen Time and App Limits.

From there you can sett 1 minute on the app you'd like to block/restrict..

A forum can only be as helpful as the experience of the members. If no one is rushing into this topic to offer a solution, then folks don't likely know how to help you.


Does hiding the app in question help?

I understand that you can close a thread if it dies out, but within hours beats the point of having a community. People have lives next to reading forum. Besides the first anser was outside the scope of what I was asking. You're answer on the other hand is very relevant and I might give that a go, thank you for joining in.


I'll check it out and get back to you.
