Screen Time: iCloud blocking and DNS profile removal issues
I’ve taken measures to limit access to websites in screen time > content & privacy restrictions > App Store, Media, Web and Games, Web content. I’ve selected Limit Adult Websites. And under “Never Allow”, most the websites I add to block, succeed in doing so.
But it won’t let me block iCloud.com. I’m able to restrict access to the Files app, but if I can’t block iCloud, it makes blocking the app pointless.
Ive added:
iCloud.com
m.icloud.com
alternative is to block using nextdns.io, and downloading/adding that profile in VPN, DNS & Devixe Management, which succeeds in blocking iCloud on the phone, but there aren’t any screen time settings to prevent the profile from being removed. I get that Apple needs to be able to communicate with iCloud for other background services, but I need this phone to either allow me to block iCloud, or make it so the dns profile can’t be deleted.
